U.S. to make another attempt?
The Foreign Relations Council, which is one of the reputable organizations in the United States, has issued a rather extensive, 96-page report entitled "U.S.-Turkey Relations: New Partnership".
In the proposals section of the report it is stated that the United States shouldn't view its relations with Turkey in a narrow prism of special issues, be it relations with Armenia, Israel or NATO.
"The United States has moral interest in working with all sides to clarify the ongoing issue with Armenia and the 1915 massacres, but U.S.-Turkey partnership is much broader than the Armenian tragedy, the difficult state of Turkish-Israeli affairs or the false discussions on Turkey's position in the West," as stated in the report.
At the same time, the authors mention that the official Washington must make another attempt to help the Turks and Armenians move forward with the Turkey-Armenia Protocols , which were signed in 2009 and gave the opportunity to normalize relations between the two countries. The change of the status-quo might improve Ankara's relations with Yerevan, which in its turn will debilitate the tension between Turkey and the U.S. due to the Armenian Cause and will help pave the way for Turkey to become a leader in the Caucasus-something that Turkey wants," as stated in the report.
Experts say that will also ameliorate the atmosphere for the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution and that the United States should actively promote that kind of a resolution. According to the source, the investigative group including 23 famous experts is led by former U.S. Secretary of State Madlen Albright.
