    US STATE DEPARTMENT'S KENNEDY TO ARRIVE IN ANKARA TODAY

    US State Department Undersecretary Laura Kennedy is due today to
    arrive in Ankara to meet with Turkish officials to discuss a number
    of matters, including the so-called Armenian genocide issue, Cyprus,
    and the Caucasus. During her two-day stay in Turkey, she is expected
    to urge Ankara to open its borders with Armenia and to stress that
    closed borders aren't useful for either side. However, Turkey doesn't
    want to open its borders to Armenia before it takes concrete steps
    for the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabagh dispute. The US sources
    said that the genocide issue was up to the historians, but that the
    issue also had a political dimension. Recently the US administration
    urged Armenia to recognize its borders with Turkey. /Cumhuriyet/
