    Azerbaijani media speaks on behalf of State Department

    14:25 / 11/14/2009U.S. is thoroughly monitoring developments in the
    Ergenekon case, Turkish Zaman daily reads.

    According to the daily, in the course of his visit to Turkey, the
    assistant secretary of state for Europe and Eurasian affairs Philip
    Gordon stated that Obama administration is `very interested in things
    that dominate the headlines in Turkey.' However he added that `when
    you have judicial and internal political developments, they are not
    for us. We watch it closely because it has an impact on one of our key
    partners.'

    Gordon also touched upon Turkish efforts to settle the Kurdish
    problem, saying ""It does seem to be an opportunity to not only fully
    integrate all of Turkey's citizens but to get beyond the conflict that
    has been devastating Turkey for many years. ¦ Obviously that is
    something the US supports."

    The U.S. diplomat also underlined the significance of Middle East
    peace, Armenia-Turkey normalization, as well as discussed the issues
    on Cyprus, Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran's nuclear program.

    The day before Azerbaijani mass media spread misinformation concerning
    Gordon's statements in Turkey. According to Azeri press, Gordon said
    it would be difficult to ratify Armenia-Turkey Protocols without
    progress in Karabakh peace process.
