    US SEES RECENT ARMENIAN-TURKISH RECONCILIATION PROCESS AS ONE OF OBAMA'S ACHIEVEMENTS

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The U.S. sees the recent opening of a reconciliation
    process between Turkey and Armenia as one of the foreign-policy
    achievements of President Barack Obama's first 100 days in office, a
    spokesman said Wednesday. "We've had, I think, important achievements
    in terms of Armenia and Turkey's reconciliation. And we'll be looking
    to encourage that as well," said Mike Hammer, spokesman for the
    president's National Security Council.

    Hammer was asked to comment on achievements in terms of relations
    with Turkey during and after Obama's visit to Ankara and Istanbul in
    early April.

    "We think our visit to Turkey was important," the spokesman
    said. "Turkey is an important strategic partner and ally, both within
    NATO and in terms of how it engages with the greater Middle East. And
    we felt that the visit went extremely well."

    He said the United States now was looking forward to expanding its
    partnership with Turkey and working with Ankara on issues of common
    interest. "We believe that we've laid the foundation for a very
    good opportunity to make significant progress," Hammer said. "So
    it was important to the president to go to Turkey on his first trip
    to Europe. And we hope again that we will have a very open dialogue
    and exchange of views as we move forward," Hurriyet Daily News cited
    Hammer as saying.
