make preferableYEREVAN.- Official rrepresentative of Prosperous Armenia party Tigran Urikhanyan said he saw contradiction in the actions of the U.S. State Department.
During the Tuesday press conference he commented on the recent State Department report containing criticism against the authorities in the context of recent congratulations following the presidential election.
Urikhanyan agreed with the opinion that the moves are contradicting each other. He did not rule out that the reason may be concrete and practical steps in foreign policy line.
