On Sunday late night the US president Barack Obama arrived in Ankara. Indeed the expectations of Armenians related to the visit of Obama to Turkey are connected with the issue of whether Obama will utter the word genocide and possibility of opening the Armenian-Turkish frontier. And yesterday the US president stated in Ankara, what should have been expected since the last year as a result of “soccer diplomacy.” The U.S. President Barack Obama answered, in joint press conference with the President of Turkey Abdullah Gul, to a reporter’s question from Chicago Tribune after his meeting with the Turkish President whether his position regarding the Armenian Genocide has been changed. “I would not prefer to lead my personal opinion, which is unchanged, in such a deal. But, I am intended to take the initiative to contribute to the Armenian-Turkish dialogue,” said the U.S. President. “We have already seen historic and courageous steps taken by Turkish and Armenian leaders. These contacts hold out the promise of a new day. An open border would return the Turkish and Armenian people to a peaceful and prosperous coexistence that would serve both of your nations. That is why the United States strongly supports the full normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia,” US President Barack Obama declared. “Human endeavor is by its nature imperfect. History, unresolved, can be a heavy weight. Each country must work through its past. And reckoning with the past can help us seize a better future. I know there are strong views in this chamber about the terrible events of 1915. While there has been a good deal of commentary about my views, this is really about how the Turkish and Armenian people deal with the past. And the best way forward for the Turkish and Armenian people is a process that works through the past in a way that is honest, open and constructive,” President Obama said. He has spoken about the same thing later in the Turkish parliament. In his same speech Obama has also spoken about the NKR conflict resolution. He also added that it speaks to Turkey’s leadership that it is poised to be the only country in the region to have normal and peaceful relations with all the South Caucasus nations. “And to advance that peace, you can play a constructive role in helping to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which has continued for far too long,” Barack Obama declared. In a word, the standpoint of the US president is the following, “the Armenians and the Turks are not getting along together. They even wish to establish a committee to discuss the historic events. Why would I in that case interfere and impede the friendship of the two countries.”
