"Equating of different conflicts testifies of absolute ignorance. Our Georgian, Russian, European and American partners perfectly realize that the conflicts in Abkhazia, Ossetia and Pridnestrovye are bearing quite different nature", Vice Speaker of the Armenian parliament, member of AFR Dashnaktsutyun Vahan Hovhanissian stated when commenting on yesterday's statement by US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Elizabeth Johns. To remind, Ms. Johns, who is to resign in the near future, stated that "Russia should be interested in the settlement of the Prednestrovian, South-Ossetian, Abkhazian and Karabakh conflict, in establishment of stability in these regions and in removal of criminalized separatists from office." "Speaking of separative forces she should have taken into consideration that the whole population of Nagorno Karabakh wished to come apart from Azerbaijan", V. Hovhanissian stated. In his opinion, her words do not reflect the official stand of the United States. "Very often on threshold of their resignation officials make statements proceeding from certain interests", he added.
