1. (C) We delivered points and draft diplomatic note
contained ref A to MFA Arms Control and International
Security Department Head Arman Hakobyan, Arms Control and
International Security Advisor Vartuhi Asaturian, and
Americas Desk Head Lilit Toutkhalian March 22. We noted
that, despite numerous self-imposed deadlines which had come
and gone, the GOAM had not met its stated commitments
(reftels) to endorse the Proliferation Security Initiative
(PSI) and the Statement of Interdiction Principles.


2. (C) Hakobyan repeated past assertions that the GOAM's
interagency process had delayed action following "a generally
positive" assessment of the PSI and the Statement of
Interdiction Principles. He asserted that FM Vartan
Oskanian, who was aware of Washington's continued interest in
Armenia's participation, hoped to deliver Armenia's
endorsement to A/S Fried at their meeting in Washington the
week of March 25.
