    ArmInfo Philip Gordon, Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian
    Affairs, U.S. Department of State, said at a briefing on Monday that
    the Armenian-Turkish normalization is an issue of great importance
    to the USA. "As you know, the protocols on establishing diplomatic
    relations between the two countries were signed last October. We said
    at the time and continue to believe that both countries now need to
    move forward in ratifying them and implementing them. And we believe
    that because we believe this is an opportunity to overcome really
    historic differences between the two countries in a way that would
    benefit both - to establish and normalize relations between the two
    countries and open the border would contribute to peace and stability
    in the region.

    And we think that is true regardless of other issues that it needs to
    move forward independently of other issues simply because it is in the
    interests of the two countries. So we are in regular touch with both
    governments and encourage them to move forward with that process. And
    that's where it stands. We will continue to work with both of them,"
    he said.
