Armenia
Yerevan /Mediamax/. U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Philip Gordon
said that the process of normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations
is currently suspended.
The U.S. official said this in reply to questions of participants
of Globsec 2011 (Global Security) Conference in Bratislava, Mediamax
reports.
Philip Gordon said that the normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations
will facilitate the strengthening of stability and security in the
South Caucasus. He pointed out that Washington backed up this process
from the very beginning and US Secretary of State personally exerted
every effort in that direction.
According to Philip Gordon, Turkey says it will ratify the Zurich
Protocols only if progress in Karabakh talks is reached. However, he
noted, the United States disagree with that approach and believe that
the normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations cannot be connected
with any other problem.
