    Yerevan (Yerkir) - Turkey and Armenia need to move forward in ratifying
    and implementing protocols signed last October on establishing
    diplomatic relations," Philip Gordon , the U.S. Assistant Secretary
    of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, has said, the World
    Bulletin reported.

    "We believe this is an opportunity to overcome really historic
    differences between the two countries in a way that would benefit
    both," Gordon said. "To establish normalized relations between the two
    countries and open the border would contribute to peace and stability
    in the region, and we think that is true regardless of other issues -
    that it needs to move forward independently of other issues, simply
    because it is in the interest of the two countries."

    Gordon also noted that U.S. Government was in touch with Yerevan
    and Ankara and that the Obama administration encouraged them to
    move forward.
