Turkish envoy says Armenian issue could harm ties with USA
New York, Turkish Ambassador in Washington Nabi Sensoy said relations
between Turkey and the United States would further improve under the
new administration of President Barack Obama.
"I believe our relations will see much better days with the new
administration. Unless, of course, wrong steps were not taken on a
couple of issues," Sensoy told a meeting in New York.
Sensoy said Armenian issue was highly sensitive one which risked
serious damage to the relations between the two countries.
"I hope that responsible figures of the new US administration would
understand the importance of Turkey, and the importance of this issue
which could harm Turkish-US relations," he said.
