Throughout the Nuclear Security Summit, President Barack Obama called
upon Turkey and Armenia to make "Every effort" to normalize relations
between both countries, meanwhile Armenian president Yerevan stated
that his country will not accept "Preconditions" on reconciliation
effort between his country and Turkey.

The White House stated that President Obama is urging both sides to
normalize relations while expressing support for democracy in Armenia.

Armenia and Turkey signed deals in October 2009 in order to concur
the legacy of what Armenia consider as a mass massacre for the deaths
of Armenians on the hand of Turkish soldiers during the First World War

Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan stated that Turkey has decided to
return its Ambassador to the U.S. after withdrawing him to protest
the Congress’ decision of describing the killings of Armenians during
the war as "Genocide".
