    US: NORMALIZATION OF ARMENIAN-TURKISH RELATIONS SHOULD BE COMPLETED WITHIN A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ U.S. President Barack Obama has pledged to continue
    to press for an unconditional normalization of Armenian-Turkish
    relations which he believes should be completed within a "reasonable
    timeframe." Obama hailed the U.S.-backed dialogue between the two
    nations as "historic," in a letter to Hirair Hovnanian, Chairman of
    the Armenian Assembly of America.

    "We will continue to vigorously support the normalization effort in
    the months ahead," he said.

    The letter dated November 20 came in response to a September
    9 joint appeal to Obama from Hovnanian and the leaders of the
    Armenian General Benevolent Union and two U.S dioceses of the
    Armenian Apostolic Church. The signatories voiced support for the
    fence-mending Turkish-Armenian agreements and said Washington
    should get Ankara to stop linking their implementation with a
    resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict favored by Azerbaijan,
