Mark Toner: U.S. policy regarding Armenian-Turkish process hasn’t shifted

PanARMENIAN.Net - The U.S. policy regarding the Armenian-Turkish process hasn’t shifted, a spokesman for the Department of State said.

“We support rapprochement between Turkey and Armenia. We also obviously support a settlement in Nagorno Karabakh. The two obviously aren’t mutually exclusive, but are mutually supportive,” Mark Toner told a daily press briefing.

”I think we’ve continued to meet through the Minsk process and – or the Minsk Group, rather, continually to work on these issues. Obviously, they’re difficult issues and that requires a great deal of time. But our Ambassador Robert Bradtke is hard at work on these issues and that’s just reinforced by the Secretary’s visit to the region,” he said.
