    US secretary of state, Armenian minister discuss ties



    Yerevan, 6 May: Armenian Foreign Minister Edvard Nalbandyan discussed
    in Washington issues of Armenian-Turkish relations and Nagornyy
    Karabakh conflict settlement with US Secretary of State Hillary
    Clinton and the US president's national security adviser James Jones.

    At the meeting with Nalbandyan, which took place on 5 May, Clinton
    stated the USA's interest in expanding relations with Armenia and said
    that the administration of President Barack Obama was fully determined
    to expand relations between the two countries, the press service of
    the [Armenian] Foreign Ministry told Mediamax today. The Armenian
    foreign minister noted the importance of deepening relations with the
    USA and spoke about official Yerevan's readiness to develop and expand
    the "friendly partnership" with Washington.

    Clinton described as "historical" the joint statement made by the
    Armenian and Turkish foreign ministries on 22 April and confirmed the
    USA's readiness to facilitate the normalization of relations between
    Armenia and Turkey in any possible way.

    The foreign ministers of both countries also discussed the forthcoming
    meeting between the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents that will be
    held in Prague on 7 May. Clinton said that the USA, as a co-chair
    country of the OSCE Minsk Group, will continue to render full
    assistance to the settlement process.

    Armenian-Turkish relations and Karabakh conflict settlement were also
    discussed at the meeting held between Nalbandyan and Jones. The US
    president's adviser stated support for the efforts of the Armenian
    leadership to normalize relations with Turkey.
