Turkish Ambassador in Washington Nabi Sensoy said Armenian issue was
highly sensitive one which risked serious damage to the relations
between the two countries.

"I hope that responsible figures of the new U.S. administration would
understand the importance of Turkey, and the importance of this issue
which could harm Turkish-U.S. relations," he said.

Sensoy also said that relations between Turkey and the United States
would further improve under the new administration of President Barack
Obama.

"I believe our relations will see much better days with the new
administration. Unless, of course, wrong steps were not taken on a
couple of issues," Sensoy told a meeting in New York.
