Hillary Clinton "United States support the acceleration of
Armenia-Turkish process."

The US Secretary of State considers that the adoption of the resolution
on "Armenian genocide" in the Congress may hamper the Armenian-Turkish
rapprochement.

"It would be undesirable if the US Congress adopted any resolution
regarding the Armenian genocide. In period when we all take efforts for
the normalization of the Turkish-Armenian relations, such a resolution
will not do good to this process", said Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton, according to CNN-Turk.

"All our steps and actions should be aimed at normalizing the
Armenian-Turkish ties rather than hampering them. Both I and President
Obama consider that we are for all efforts in normalization of these
relations but against the decisions that can throw these processes
back and harm them", Clinton said.

She noted that the United States support the acceleration of this
process maintaining the constant contact with both countries.
