ArmInfo. The USA is interested in continuation of the Armenian-Turkish
process, said US Ambassador to Armenia Marie Yovanovitch at the
Armenia-Turkey policy discussions held in Yerevan, Thursday.

The policy of establishment of Armenian-Turkish relations and
rapprochement between the two nations is still a challenge though the
publics of the two countries already realize the necessity, benefits
and prospects of this rapprochement, she said. Therefore, the publics
of Armenia and Turkey should create a demand for normal relations
between the two countries. This demand will help the Armenian and
Turkish politicians, who have already made the first steps towards
this, to make the further steps as well, said Yovanovitch.

Eurasia Partnership Foundation (EPF) together with Istanbul-based
Global Political Trends Center (GPoT) and with funding from USAID
are holding the Armenia-Turkey policy discussions on March 25-26, 2010.

The meeting brings together a number of distinguished opinion
makers and media professionals from Turkey and Armenia. The list of
participants includes retired Armenian and Turkish diplomats and
high-level government officials; as well as renowned Armenian and
Turkish media professionals.
