ArmInfo. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President of Armenia
Serzh Sargsyan had a phone talk on December 10 at the initiative of
H. Clinton.
The official website of the Armenian President reports that Secretary
Clinton informed President Sargsyan of the details of Obama-Erdogan
meeting in Washington. She reiterated that the United States keeps on
contributing to normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations without
preconditions. President Sargsyan asked Hillary Clinton to thank
the US President on his behalf for support to the Armenian-Turkish
process. Serzh Sargsyan once more confirmed Armenia’s readiness to
respect international commitments and normalize the relations with
Turkey. He said he hopes Turkey will do the same.
The two parties discussed also the Karabakh process. Secretary Clinton
once more confirmed that the USA supports peaceful settlement of
the Karabakh conflict and that the US Administration considers
the settlement of the Karabakh conflict and normalization of the
Armenian-Turkish relations as separate processes and progress in these
two processes will contribute to stability and peace in the region.
