NEW YORK (A.W.)-On Sept. 28, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met
with Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian at the Waldorf-Astoria
Hotel in New York. After the meeting, Clinton said, "I am very pleased
to have this opportunity to meet with the foreign minister. He and
I have talked on the phone. I have watched his very diligent and
effective efforts over the last months that I've had the privilege
of being the Secretary of State. And I want to reiterate our very
strong support for the normalization process that is going on between
Armenia and Turkey, which we have long said should take place without
preconditions and within a reasonable timeframe."
She added, "We will continue to work closely with the foreign minister
and, of course, with his president and the Government of Armenia. And
we also are very committed to the democratic development of Armenia. We
want to be a partner and a friend in increasing prosperity and economic
development as well. So this is a comprehensive relationship. We
are very focused on this challenge of normalization which Armenia
has demonstrated great commitment to, yet our relationship is much
broader and much deeper in addition to that."
