The other day, the prestigious American “RAND” corporation published on its website the analysis “The USA cannot guarantee Armenia‘s security despite threats from Azerbaijan, but it can help” by Joe Haberman and Paul Kokhmari. The US State Department responded to the publication.
Responding to the “Voice of America” inquiry about the provisions contained in the “RAND” publication, the US State Department said: “The United States supports the continued democratic development, sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all countries of the South Caucasus. It is a core principle of US policy throughout the region, and it is to that end that we are expanding [մեր] involvement in wide-ranging relations with Armenia”.
The US State Department welcomed “any good-faith engagement that brings peace and stability to the nations of the South Caucasus”, adding: “We have witnessed Russia’s ongoing, devastating aggression against Ukraine, the ongoing occupation of Georgia’s sovereign territory, and destabilizing actions in the region and around the world. Therefore, we cannot consider Russia as a reliable or conscientious ally or partner in the South Caucasus or elsewhere.”
