Report on Armenia: 'U.S. State Department Admits It's Mistake'

Armenia has submitted a written notification to the U.S. State Department on the report, Vartan Oskanian reports. "The mistake is evident. The State Department has admitted it. The interpretation was not to appear in the report. "We assume that out of certain bureaucratic reasons it is difficult to amend the document after its official publication, but they promised us to see to the matter. Once more I assure you that the State Department has admitted its mistake and it will try to correct the mistake" repeated Mr. Oskanian.

The Foreign Minister of the Republic of Armenia noted that the document has no legal force, and Azerbaijan cannot make use of the interpretation. Azerbaijan cannot use the report against Armenia. One thing is obvious; various approaches of the report are not coordinated. The fact is explicit", added the foreign minister.

WILL THE IRANIAN GAS FLOW?
Vartan Oskanian attaches great importance to the inauguration of the Iran-Armenian gas pipeline and says the deal is of military importance.

Iran-Armenia gas pipeline is a serious step to diversify Armenian energy sources. It will make Armenia's energy sphere more independent and less vulnerable," Vartan Oskanian maintains.

In answer to the question whether the Iranian gas will ensure the independence of the Armenian energy sphere, when the RA authorities are going to hand the pipeline to the RF, Vartan Oskanian said, "The Iran-Armenia gas pipeline is an Iran-Armenia project. No other country is engaged in the project. The future of the gas pipeline will be considered after the final accomplishment of works. It is quite logical that the concession will be given to "ArmRusGazArd." It is an Armenian organization and deals with all the gas issues".

"The stability of the pipeline must be ensured to make it non-vulnerable. The gas pipeline is ours, and no one intends to give it to others. No one will close the tap." - A1plus
