    ARMENIA WISHES TO NORMALIZE RELATIONS WITH TURKEY - PRESIDENT


    Armenia wants to develop cooperation with the United States and to
    normalize relations with its neighbors, Turkey among them, President
    Serzh Sargsyan told representatives of the American Jewish Committee
    (AJC) in Yerevan on Thursday.

    "We view the deepening of our relations [between Armenia and the
    United States] as the token of economic success, democratic
    development and regional stability," the presidential press office
    quoted Sargsyan to Interfax.

    "Armenia also wants to normalize relations with neighbors. It has many
    times called for restoring relations with Turkey without
    preconditions," he said.

    Ambassador Peter Rosenblatt said they had profound knowledge of the
    South Caucasus and were closely watching regional developments.

    The delegation of the AJC, a leading Jewish lobbying organization in
    the United States, is visiting Yerevan to discuss the Armenian-
    Turkish relations.

    AJC Strategic Research Director Barry Jacobs and Executive Director of
    the American-Armenian Public Committee Ross Vartanian also attended
    the meeting.
