US to Continue to Engage Turkey, Armenia in Rapprochement

The US has placed a great deal of emphasis on the Armenia-Turkey normalization process, said Philip J. Crowley in a daily US State Department press briefing, in response to a question by a journalist on the US’ next steps in this regard.

“The Secretary herself [Hillary Clinton] has been fully engaged in this. We’ve understood for a number of months that there have been obstacles to progress. We will continue to engage Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and see how we can move forward,” he concluded.
