PanARMENIAN.Net - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry recently pushed
for a greater Turkish role in conflict resolution.
While discussing the 2014 Foreign Affairs budget at the House Foreign
Affairs Committee, Kerry called Turkey a constructive regional player
in the Mideast peace process, the ongoing Syrian crisis, the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict and the Cyprus issue.
"Through regular talks held with Washington, Ankara is assisting us
on the settlement of the two frozen conflicts - the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict and the Cyprus issue. I think Turkey will be a constructive
player on these issues and we are looking forward to maintaining
constructive ties with Ankara," Kerry said in response to question
by members of Congress.
"This is like pouring fuel on the fire," commented Armenian National
Committee of America Executive Director Aram Hamparian. "Despite
Turkey's growing anti-Armenian bias Secretary Kerry said at his
testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee that Ankara
could play a 'constructive role' in resolving that 'frozen conflict.'"
