(C) On November 16, we delivered reftel demarche requesting
Armenian assistance to the Organization of American States
(OAS) Colombia Mission to MFA Americas Desk Head Lilit
Toutkhalian. Toutkhalian told us she believed Armenia --
though a permanent OAS observer country -- had not previously
contributed to OAS missions and that, given budget
constraints, Colombia was "unlikely" to be different.
Toutkhalian said she would pass reftel points to Foreign
Minister Vartan Oskanian who returns early next week from a
Council of Europe Ministers' Committee meeting in Strasbourg,
but that she did not expect a favorable response.
