US embassy cable - 05YEREVAN1885

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.

Classified By: Pol/Econ Chief C. Doell for reasons 1.4 (b, d). 
 
(C) We delivered reftel demarche points regarding 
international disaster relief support for Pakistan to 
outgoing Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) NATO 
Section Head Hrach Tashchian and incoming MFA NATO Section 
Head Marta Ayvazyan.  Tashchian said he did not know about 
the October 18 agreement to activate the NATO Response Force 
(NRF), or the draft operations plan and statement of 
requirements.  Tashchian said he would relay reftel points to 
the GOAM NATO delegation in Brussels which, so far, has not 
proposed specific GOAM assistance to aid in relief efforts. 
Though Armenia would be willing to "work through the Response 
Force to render assistance," Tashchian said he could not 
comment on specific, concrete steps the GOAM might take until 
the GOAM has a better idea about NATO's operational 
requirements.
