    RAPPROCHEMENT STALLED AFTER SIGNING OF PROTOCOLS. CROWLEY

    Tert.am
    17.04.10

    In a recent briefing US Assistant Secretary of State Philip J. Crowley
    referred to the Armenia-Turkey normalization and the recent meetings
    in Washington saying that some very important meetings were held both
    with Armenian and Turkish sides.

    According to the US State Department website Crowley said that the
    Armenia-Turkey normalization process has been stalled after the
    signature of the Armenia-Turkey Protocols.

    "The process has stalled from last fall when the countries signed
    the protocols on normalization. We want to see Turkey and Armenia
    ratifying those protocols, normalize relations, open borders. That
    has significant benefits for both countries. And we continue to work
    with both to see if we can find the right formula, the right timing
    to see ratification and the benefits that come with ratification,"
    said Crowley

    Asked whether the US works with its Azerbaijani counterparts to resolve
    the disagreement with them over the Armenia-Turkey normalization, as
    Baku has some objections to it, Crowley said: "We continue to work to
    see how we can - I mean, there are things that both countries have
    committed to do. There are difficult processes working with their
    respective parliaments. We know this is a difficult process. We know
    it involves emotion on both sides, risk on both sides, and we will
    continue to work constructively with Armenia and Turkey to try to
    see this process through."
