ArmInfo. Promises by President Barack Obama related to the events
of 1915 have not been forgotten, says US Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton in aHillary n interview with Russian journalist Vladimir
Pozner.
"I don’t think anyone has forgotten, but what has happened that is
of great import is the work going on between Turkey and Armenia. In
fact, I was in Zurich last fall with the foreign ministers of Turkey,
Armenia, Russia, France, other countries to witness the signing of a
set of protocols to normalize relationships between Armenia and Turkey.
And in those protocols, there was an agreement between the two
countries to establish a historical commission that would look at
all of the issues that are part of the past.
And I think that’s the right way to go, I think, to have the two
countries and the two peoples focusing on this themselves. I have
said many times we cannot change the past we inherit. All we can do
is try to have better future," H. Clinton says.
