Department of State: US policy over Karabakh and Armenia-Turkey rapprochement hasn't changed

The US has not changed it towards the Armenia –Turkey normalization, as well as the settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, US State Department spokesperson Mark Toner said in a briefing.

“Well, I think we’ve always – I mean, certainly our policy hasn’t shifted. 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,” said Toner.

"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," Toner said.
