    U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged Turkey and Armenia
    Monday to carry out their plans to normalise ties soon during separate
    meetings with their foreign ministers.

    According to a Reuters report, "I want to reiterate our very strong
    support for the normalization process that is going on between
    Armenia and Turkey, which we have long said should take place
    without preconditions and within a reasonable timeframe," Clinton
    told reporters as she sat down with Armenian Foreign Minister Edward
    Nalbandian on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly.

    She later met Turkish Foreign Ahmet Davutoglu.

    A U.S. official said Clinton does not want the signing to be disrupted
    by Armenian nationalist demands that Turkey acknowledge the 1915
    killings as genocide or by demands by some Turks for a resolution of
    the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute.
