(SBU) We delivered reftel demarche March 3 to Karen 
Martirossian, Acting Head of Global Security and Non- 
Conventional Issues Division at the Armenian Ministry 
of Foreign Affairs.  Martirossian expressed his doubts 
that Armenia will pass the necessary CWC legislation by 
the November deadline and cited the size of the task 
and the transfer of the previous Head of Global 
Security Israelian as the immediate causes of the 
delay.  Post reminded him of Armenia's obligations to 
meet the deadline and referred him to sources of 
technical assistance contained in reftel.  He indicated 
that he will likely request assistance from State 
Department sources and from the government of Belarus.
