U.S. Deputy Assistant of State for European and Eurasian Affairs,
Matthew Bryza said that inviting Turkish President Gul to Armenia
would be unbelievable progress.
The Armenian President announced his intention to invite Abdullah
Gul to Yerevan for a soccer match between the Armenian and Turkish
national teams.
"I know President Sargsyan well and I think that his positions
are somehow different from positions of his predecessor. I have an
impression that Sargsyan and Aliyev are closer that Kocharian and
Aliyev were. Both Presidents demonstrated a pragmatic approach and
each was ready to listen to the opponent," he said.
The U.S. diplomat voiced hope that a framework agreement on Nagorno
Karabakh will be signed till the yearend, RFE/RL reports.
