    March 30, 2009 Monday

    The following information was released by the office of Florida
    Rep. Robert Wexler:

    Today, Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL) and three senior Members of the
    United States Congress sent a strong letter supporting Armenian-Turkish
    rapprochement to Armenian President Serzh Sargsian and Turkish
    President Abdullah Gul. In the letter, Congressman Wexler, Chairman of
    the Subcommittee on Europe in the House Committee on Foreign Affairs;
    Congressman Ike Skelton (D-MO), Chairman of the House Armed Services
    Committee; John Murtha (D-PA), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Defense
    in the House Committee on Appropriations; and Alcee L. Hastings (D-FL),
    Co-Chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe
    (the U.S. Helsinki Commission), expressed their approval of ongoing
    Armenian and Turkish efforts to normalize relations.

    It is critical that the United States and international community
    support Armenia and Turkey during their ongoing efforts to normalize
    relations and create positive dynamics in the Caucasus region," said
    Congressman Wexler. "It is in the interest of the United States and
    both Armenia and Turkey that differences between Yerevan and Ankara
    are overcome and that a solid foundation is laid to enhance cooperation
    and diplomatic relations between these two nations."

    Congressman Robert Wexler is Chairman of the Subcommittee on Europe
    and a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the
    House Judiciary Committee. Recently, Congressman Wexler served as an
    advisor on Middle East issues to President Barack Obama during his
    2008 presidential campaign.
