April 13, the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Turkish
FM Ahmet Davutoglu in Washington. The advancement of Armenia-Turkey
reconciliation was in the limelight.

"The matter of discussion was concrete steps to be taken towards
progress with both parties," U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Philip
Crowley said.

Asked about the comment by Turkish FM on prospects of relations
between two historically alienated states, Crowley replied: "Those
knowing Davutoglu are aware that he is always optimistic."

Referring to Iran’s nuclear program he stated that there was short
of time to discuss it in the course of the meeting, but Clinton and
Davutoglu will meet again Thursday.
