Wow. I wouldn't expect anything less from an American diplomat, however, given that the top echelons of power are a mix of former Cold Warriors, turkophiles and "men" married to turkish women, and lobbyists for energy conglomerates all united by a desire to squeeze Armenia out of existence and establish a turkish puppet state on Armenian soil.

Actually, I did some research and he is far from the worst. He more or less thinks that the Azeris should give up any hope for trying to seize Artsakh. He seems to be avidly against war first and foremost. For now, they have taken the page offline. Below is a link to another article written by Wayne Merry. He advocates Armenia keeping Artsakh and a wide corridor and some of the "occupied" territories going back to Azerbaijan with peace enforced by outside powers thus both sides having to make a compromise.
