conversation with the U.S. president Barack Obama. The conversation
took place at the initiative of the U.S. president.
Obama expressed his support in connection with the efforts aimed
at the normalization of the Armenian and Turkish relations. He
reiterated the U.S. official stance according to which the process
of the normalization should be carried out without any precondition
and should no be connected to the Karabakh issue. The press office
of the president reports.
Serge Sargsyan expressed his gratitude to the U.S. president for his
support with regard to the Armenian and Turkish rapprochement and
shared his impressions on his pan-Armenian tour.
Serge Sargsyan also thanked Barack Obama for the U.S. assistance as
a OSCE Minsk group co-chairing country and underlined the willingness
of Armenia to go forward in direction of a peace settlement the axis
of which has to be the decision of the Karabakh status by the will
of the Karabakh people on which the principles of Madrid presented
by the OSCE Minsk group are based.
