I read the article a few hours ago, from what i understood the genocide museum director gave a brief history to Vance about the Armenian genocide, and among the history, told him about the pogroms in Artsakh, and used the word Artsakh instead of nagorno karabakh, which would leave the counter intuitive impression to the US that we are still after Artsakh, since the name is now loaded unfortunately.
We don’t know if the US itself protested, or Az to US protests happened about it, or just our government making an example to adhere to the policy principles.
>Meanwhile, staff said the domestic controversy intensified after the museum’s official statement on the visit referred to the region as “Artsakh,” rather than Nagorno-Karabakh, a term the current Armenian government has increasingly avoided in official communication.
>Soon after the visit, Pashinyan told parliament that during the vice president’s visit “things happened that would have been better if they had not happened,” without elaborating.

It could have been an honest mistake on her side, this feels very unfair if it was done internally without external protest.
