Terry Davidson The US has clearly shown support for the normalization
of relations between Armenia and Turkey, a US embassy official in
Baku has said.
Terry Davidson, head of public relations at the US embassy, told
1news.az yesterday that, as a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group,
the United States was actively pursuing a peaceful settlement of the
Karabakh conflict.
‘We think that both processes – the normalization of Armenian-Turkish
relations and the resolution of the the Karabakh conflict – should
proceed in parallel in order to ensure long-term stability and
prosperity in this region,’ Davidson said.
He commented on the nuclear security summit to be hosted by President
Barack Obama next week.
‘About 40 countries were invited to the summit. Certainly, more
countries are interested in the issue, but only those countries that
have nuclear power stations or large reserves of nuclear materials
have been invited to hold a constructive, healthy dialogue at this
event,’ Davidson said.
