US embassy cable - 04YEREVAN1628

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(C) Acting MFA International Organizations Division Chief 
Artak Apitonian told us July 22 that Armenia was now leaning 
towards voting against the Cuba terrorism resolution pending 
before ECOSOC.  He said that recent information from EU 
countries indicated that a negative vote would not distance 
Armenia from the EU position and would "keep both sides of 
the Atlantic happy."  Apitonian said the MFA would likely 
communicate with Armenia's mission before the vote and would 
pass along the USG's continued interest in the issue.
