U.S. State Department report doesn't represent Armenia as 'invader'
The U.S. Department of State Human Rights Report reflects the official position of Washington, OSCE Minsk Group U.S. Co-chair said.
"It's the official position of the Department of State but is not the U.S. administration's statement on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict," Matt Bryza told a news conference in Yerevan today.
"The conflict resolution should base on three principles: non-use of force, territorial integrity and the right of nations to self-determination," he said.
Ambassador Bryza also emphasized that the report doesn't contain the term 'invader.' "Just read the report carefully," he said.
The report issued by the U.S. Department of State late February says that "ethnic Armenian separatists, with Armenia's support, continued to control most of the Nagorno Karabakh region of Azerbaijan and seven surrounding Azerbaijani territories."
