The U.S. will work for the Armenian-Turkish reconciliation but the governments of the two states should seek for ways to establish diplomatic relations, according to the U.S. Charge d'Affairs in Armenia.

"Some progress was fixed after the Armenian presidential election. This could be a good basis for a compromise," Mr. Joseph Pennington said when opening the NATO Week in Armenia today.

"Yerevan and Ankara should work jointly to reach a compromise while the United States will help the process," he said.
