    Clinton to meet with Armenian official
    Published: May 2, 2009 at 12:34 PM


    YEREVAN, Armenia, May 2 (UPI) -- Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard
    Nalbandyan is to arrive in Washington Sunday ahead of a meeting with
    U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, officials said.

    RIA Novosti reported Clinton will meet with the Armenian foreign
    minister Monday to work on a settlement to the long-running Nagorny
    Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Turkey.

    The two nations reached a road map agreement April 23 aimed at
    establishing bilateral relations, which have been non-existent since
    the massacre of ethnic Armenians in Turkey in the early 20th century.

    The border between Armenia and Turkey was closed in 1993 following
    fighting between Armenia and Turkey's ally, Azerbaijan, over Nagorny
    Karabakh, the Russian news service reported.

    Clinton also will meet with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar
    Mammadyarov Tuesday, prior to talks between Armenian and Azerbaijani
    leaders in Prague May 7.
