    Discussions on situation in Turkey held in U.S.

    16:02 / 02/27/2010Armenia-Turkey reconciliation and Nagorno-Karabakh
    issue were touched upon in the course of discussions on Turkey's
    domestic and international policies held in U.S., Today's Zaman
    reports.

    According to the daily, Joost Lagendijk ' former member of the
    European Parliament, commenting on Armenia-Turkey reconciliation
    process, stressed that `normalization would increase the EU's ability
    to pressure Armenia on the Nagorno-Karabakh issue.' However, Azeri
    diplomat present at the discussion noted that Armenia is `occupying'
    Azerbaijani territory.

    In response Lagendijk stated that `Azerbaijan's policy has not worked
    for the past 15 years,' the source reads. Lagendijk also criticized
    Turkish Premier Erdogan, saying he tried to link Armenia-Turkey
    relations with Karabakh peace process.

    German Marshall Fund expert Ian Lesser also spoke about Turkey-U.S.
    relations, emphasizing that the `problem area' between Ankara and
    Washington `is in regards to Iran and Armenia.'
