“The issue of acknowledgement of the Armenian Genocide is a complex
question, which should be daringly discussed by the two parties,”
Assistant to the US Secretary of State Daniel Fried said during his
visit to Ankara.

Following the meeting with representatives of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs Daniel Fried declared that it is necessary to evaluate the
tragedies of the past years, since the people should think about
their future. The American diplomat underlined that “the position of
the Unites States on this issue is known. US President George Bush
will most probably make a traditional annual statement on the issue
in April.”

Daniel Fried added that the issue of Washington’s demand to open the
border with Armenia was addressed during the discussions in Ankara.
