report-agrmnt.doc - "A Threat Reduction Officer (DTRO) is assigned to the U.S. Embassy to implement such an agreement. At the same time, a Threat Reduction Support Center (TRSC) is being created in the capital, which employs hired (non-governmental) employees. These centers usually have one U.S. citizen - 3-5 local residents, and according to private sources, such a center in Armenia may be headed by Marcella Bertin.

As part of the Biological Threat Reduction Program, this office organizes the training of local specialists, the exchange of experience, participation in international conferences, the creation of new laboratories, the installation of modern equipment, which at the end of the program can serve the purposes of the host country. To this end, a sustainable development program is being developed that will allow these laboratories and facilities to operate in the future without funding from the United States."



report1.doc - "We raised the question of why the participation of the Republic of Armenia was so limited that it was not reflected in the documents of the meeting. In response, it was noted that the idea to invite Armenia to the event arose at the last moment. It became known from private conversations that the reason for Armenia's de facto observer status is that, unlike other participating countries (except Russia), Armenia has not signed agreements with the United States to reduce the biological threat. The latter recently presented the latter's draft to the Armenian side.

Azerbaijan used the conference to indirectly present the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in a way that was beneficial to it. In the April 15 report, as well as on the corresponding poster, the map of Azerbaijan is presented without a hint of the existence of Nagorno-Karabakh. On the map of the report dated 16/04, the territory outside the control of Azerbaijan was represented more than in reality, with the explanation "Data unavailable". When the participants asked why there was no information from these territories, the Azerbaijanis replied that they were occupied by Armenia."
