protect accordingly.
2. (SBU) We delivered reftel points to Valery Mkrtumyan, head
of the MFA's International Organizations Department.
Mkrtumyan said that Armenia has voted in favor of the Cuba
Embargo Resolution in the past, and likely would be unwilling
to change that voting pattern at this time. He said he would
pass the information to Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian to
determine Armenia's position on the Australian amendment.
