US embassy cable - 04YEREVAN2796

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.

1. (U) Sensitive But Unclassified.  Please protect 
accordingly. 
 
2. (SBU) National Assembly senior staff told us that the 
GOAM is pushing to ratify the revised "Article 98" 
agreement, but that it will not come up for a vote before 
the Spring session (i.e., at the earliest in late February). 
With the GOAM focused on (successfully) securing National 
Assembly authorization for their Iraq contingent in the 
final extraordinary session of the year, the timeline for 
the revised "Article 98" agreement slipped.  Nonetheless, 
the National Assembly anticipates no difficulties and 
expects to ratify the agreement during the Spring 2005 
session.
