US embassy cable - 04YEREVAN1707

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.

We delivered reftel demarche to Deputy Foreign Minister Tatul 
Margarian, who professed surprise that there was a PKK/Kongra 
Gel presence in Armenia.  He immediately assured us, however, 
that the Armenian government would "take the appropriate 
steps," that he would raise the issue with senior government 
leaders August 2, and that he would let us know in the near 
future what concrete steps the GOAM would be taking.
