Democrats are in serious trouble. They need every vote they can get in November so that is why they are posturing around.
I would like to see the day when Turkey can care less and shrug off  the American and Armenian clamors, resolutions etc  about this farce of genocide.
Turkey and Azerbaijan should unite more and defy this idiotic nonsense..
Almost 80 million Turks being manipulated by a 2 million weakling nation and its masters in Washington…Disgusting….

Armenia’s April decision was impressive and praiseworthy, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared at a joint press conference with Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian in Yerevan, when speaking about Armenian side’s decision to suspend the process of ratification of the Armenia-Turkey Protocols.

Speaking about the Armenian-Turkish normalization process Hillary Clinton reminded that she personally attended the ceremony of signing the Protocols. “It was a brave decision by the two Presidents aimed at complete normalization of relations,” Secretary of State mentioned meanwhile expressing concern over their non-fulfillment.

“You know that the signed documents have not been fulfilled yet, and there are some problems. I am happy that irrespective of the difficulties coming, certainly, from Turkey, Armenia is ready to continue the process,” Hillary Clinton declared. She mentioned that under the circumstances Armenia’s decision was impressive and praiseworthy, and they appreciate Armenia’s readiness to continue the process.

Using football terminology Secretary of State concluded: “The ball is now in Turkey’s field.” She also added that the American side also encourages Turkey to undertake some steps.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that the US believes that the Armenian-Turkish normalization will bring peace, stability and prosperity to the region. The steps taken to this end will contribute to the normalization of relations between the two states, said Hillary Clinton during a joint briefing with Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian in Yerevan.

“Though the Protocols have not been ratified yet, but President Sargsyan stated that Armenia is ready to continue talks with Turkey as soon as it makes a step forward, and we hail this statement. The US agrees with this point of view, and we estimate positively the Armenian leadership’s statement,” stressed Clinton.

For his part, Edward Nalbandian noted that Armenia is ready for a dialogue with Turkey without preconditions as soon as Ankara is ready for it.

‘Despite the fact that Turks were, and remain unready to establish relations with Armenia without preconditions, it is very important for us to feel the attitude of the US administration on the matter,’ RA President Serzh Sargsyan said during the meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.  He also expressed gratitude to President Barack Obama and the Secretary of State for their attempts to normalize Armenian-Turkish relations.

In her turn, Hillary Clinton thanked the Armenian leader for his personal contribution to the improvement of relations with Turkey.
