U.S. Embassy denies Azerbaijani disinformation

Some Azerbaijani media outlets spread disinformation that Assistant Secretary for Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, Philip H. Gordon, linked process of ratification of Armenian-Turkish protocols and Karabakh conflict. Meanwhile, the U.S. Embassy in Armenia denied these statements that ‘Philip H. Gordon conditioned Armenian-Turkish protocols’ ratification by regulating process of Karabakh conflict.’

“In fact, Gordon was misunderstood. When asked by journalist in Turkey, he said: ‘Regarding to Karabakh conflict, you are right – the Turkish leaders said do not see the ratification without progress in issue of Karabakh. However, we do not link these processes. These processes shouldn’t be linked’,” told Aysor’s correspondent, U.S. Embassy’s spokeswoman Taguhi Dzhaukyan.
