    Armenian leader, US vice-president discuss ties with Turkey


    Yerevan, 24 April: US Vice-President Joseph Biden held a telephone
    conversation with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, welcoming a joint
    statement issued by the Armenian and Turkish Foreign Ministries and
    the readiness to normalize bilateral relations.

    Mediamax news agency quoted a report by the White House as reporting
    that "the US vice-president expressed admiration for Sargsyan's
    leadership and noted that the US administration will support Armenia
    and Turkey under this process in every possible way".

    In an interview with Mediamax news agency, the head of the
    presidential press service, Samvel Farmanyan, said that this is a
    second telephone conversation between Biden and Sargsyan in a week. He
    pointed out that the conversation took place at the initiative of the
    American side on 23 April. Sargsyan spoke with Biden from the board of
    his plane, while returning to Yerevan from Moscow.

    "The US vice-president said that US State Department statement
    that the normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations should take
    place without preconditions and in a reasonable period of time
    reflects the position of US President Barack Obama and the US
    administration," Samvel Farmanyan said.
