    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ "We were delighted that the president of Armenia
    reached out to President Gul and invited him to Yerevan and delighted
    also that President Gul accepted the invitation," assistant secretary
    of state for European and Eurasian affairs Daniel Fried told the
    House Foreign Affairs Committee.

    He said the United States had been encouraging Armenia and neighboring
    Turkey and Azerbaijan to work toward settling their differences and
    that this policy would remain in place.

    "I'm glad that we have an ambassador going out there soon and we'd
    certainly hope to see Armenia's relative isolation end," Fried
    said. "We want its borders open and its relations improved and we're
    going to work to that end," he added, Turkish Daily News reports.

    Turkey's President Abdullah Gul was in Yerevan on Sept. 6 to watch
    a World Cup qualifier between the Armenian and Turkish national
    teams. Before the match, the heads of state discussed possibilities
    to normalize bilateral relations.
