/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The new U.S. administration appreciated Turkey’s
opinion and sensitivity regarding the 1915 incidents, Turkish Foreign
Minister said on Saturday, adding later there is however still a
"risk" over the U.S. stance on the issue.

"I can easily say that the current U.S. administration perceives
Turkey’s opinion and sensitivity on this matter. We have no
difficulties with communication in that sense," Ali Babacan said. `The
issue could be solved without any problems and without overshadowing
relations between U.S. and Turkey.’

"I still see a risk," Babacan said later. "Mr. Obama made the promise
five times in a row," he added, the Anatolian Agency reports.
