The US is "delighted" by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
for his brave decision on the Armenia-Turkey Protocols, and for that
reason, the US has deep respect for him, said US Deputy Secretary of
State James Steinberg at Washington-based think tank Atlantic Council.
According to CNN Turk, Steinberg, speaking on Turkey recalling its
US ambassador after the adoption of the resolution recognizing the
Armenian Genocide, said he was sorry.
"I am sorry that the Ambassador Namik Tan was recalled. Our policy
is based on dialogue... I think that it is important to continue
communication and discussions regardless of disagreements with Congress
on the issue," said Steinberg.
"We believe that there is a very strong and constructive dialogue
with Turkey. We hope that the Turkish administration, conscious of
the fact that we place great importance on the dialogue, will continue
to work to fulfill our joint objectives," added Steinberg.
