"Aravot": Members of the Armenian National Committee of America were threatened at the US Department of State.

The paper says it has learned from sources that representatives of the US Department of State have had an unpleasant conversation with members of the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).

Citing its sources, the paper claims that the US officials explicitly told representatives of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaksutyun (ARF-D) that they do not approve of their Armenian office’s activities. They are said to have serious doubts that the upper circles of ARF-D seek second President Robert Kocharyan’s return to politics, something that is not in their interests.

The US officials have threatened the ANCA representatives that they will cease turning a blind eye to what they claim to be well-known facts in case the ARF-D keeps pursuing pro-Kocharyan policies, says the paper.
