Normalization of Armenia-Turkey ties to benefit not only two countries, but also whole region: U.S. deputy secretary of state

“I want to emphasize efforts by President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton in this respect,” Nalbandyan said at a joint news conference with first U.S. Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg in Yerevan.  

The minister said Armenia has consistently stated that it is ready to normalize ties and open borders without any conditions.

“We expect Turkey to take practical steps,” Nalbandyan said.

Steinberg said normalization of Armenia-Turkey relations will benefit not only the two countries, but also the whole region.
