US embassy cable - 05YEREVAN1589

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.

(SBU) The Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs told us 
that they had little information concerning the 5th 
Session of the Codex Ad Hoc Intergovernmental Task 
Force on Foods Derived from Biotechnology in Chiba, 
Japan, 19-23 September 2005, and had no intention to 
send on official representative or submit written 
comments for consideration by participants.  The 
Armenian Ministry for Trade and Economic Development, 
and the Armenian Ministry of Agriculture also had 
minimal knowledge of this conference and had no plans 
to attend.
