    High-ranking U.S. diplomats to meet with Armenian president

    YEREVAN Feb 4


    U.S. Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg and Assistant Secretary
    Philip Gordon are expected to arrive in Armenia on Thursday, the U.S.
    embassy in Armenia told Interfax.

    Steinberg and Gordon are expected to meet with Armenian President
    Serzh Sargsyan and Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian, the embassy
    said.

    >From Armenia the high-ranking U.S. diplomats will travel to Georgia.

    Media reports on Wednesday quoted U.S. National Intelligence Director
    Admiral Denis Blair as saying that a war could break out between
    Armenia and Azerbaijan in the context of the Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict.

    Despite progress seen last year in rapprochement between Armenia and
    Turkey, this process had an impact on fragile relations between
    Armenia and Azerbaijan and increased the risk of a renewed conflict
    around Nagorno-Karabakh, Blair was quoted as saying.
