THEY GOT TO THE SERVICE

The academician Konstantin Gharagiozian declared yesterday during the meeting of the National Academy of Science that he didn't know "in what kind of intimate relations she is / edit. Elizabeth Jones/ with the leaders of Azerbaijan and Turkey". But the 80 years old academician added that he wondered at the taste of Turkish and Azerbaijani politicians." The Armenian academicians and scientists of the meeting denounced the U.S. assistant secretary Elizabeth Jones.

JONES-OSKANIAN-2: 0

It's a pity: the match "Neftchi"-"Piunik" ended by 2:0 score. Baron de Kuborten's rhyme "O, sport, you are a peace" isn't about this occasion at all. This match began and ended like a war: the collision of the Armenian and Azerbaijanis fans reached its logical end only in the Police station of Moscow. And the result of the match caused appropriate moods in the neighbor but not relative countries: exultation in Azerbaijan, bitterness and disappointment in Armenia. Even sharp expressions were sounded addressed to the unsuccessful "captain", to the owner of "Piunik" Ruben Hairapetian. The appraisal may be sharper if not the champion of Armenia but "Mika" which is unofficially called "Neftchi" taking into consideration the business and birth of the owner lost the "Nefgtchi". This is by the way.
The "Piunik's" defeat is a trifle in comparison with the declaration of the U.S. assistant secretary Elizabeth Jones and the following elucidation of Washington according to which the U.S. supports the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. This isn't the football match of CIC Cup but the result of carried policy of the Armenian "captains". And now we wait that one of the Armenian official figures will make a speech in occasion of Jones's declarations. But the days pass but the authorities only gather signatures and realize "bazes" actions. The fact that the authorities proclaimed the youth to organize a demonstration near the U.S. embassy allow as to understand that our authorities are also dissatisfied by Jones's declaration. It remains to guess that they don't want to express their opinion not to hurt the relations between Armenia and the U.S. Especially now when the U.S. threatens with war against Iran. In short our authorities are warned. But the U.S. may not to notice the action of protest of the youth. Here such kind of actions against Bush is too much in the United States. Instead the silence of the official Yerevan on declaration of Elizabeth Jones may be considered as a sign of consent.
