/PanARMENIAN.Net/ “The issue of acknowledgement of the Armenian
Genocide is a complex question, which should be daringly discussed by
the two parties,” U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of
European and Eurasian Affairs 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.
