US embassy cable - 05YEREVAN2009

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) On November 16, we delivered reftel demarche requesting 
Armenian assistance to the Organization of American States 
(OAS) Colombia Mission to MFA Americas Desk Head Lilit 
Toutkhalian.  Toutkhalian told us she believed Armenia -- 
though a permanent OAS observer country -- had not previously 
contributed to OAS missions and that, given budget 
constraints, Colombia was "unlikely" to be different. 
Toutkhalian said she would pass reftel points to Foreign 
Minister Vartan Oskanian who returns early next week from a 
Council of Europe Ministers' Committee meeting in Strasbourg, 
but that she did not expect a favorable response.
