Ankara is searching for ways to renew dialogue with Yerevan, Armenia Today reports.
Ankara is trying to use the OSCE Council of Foreign Ministers in Vilnius to smoothen relations with Yerevan. Turkish Minister Ahmet Davutoglu met his Swiss counterpart Micheline Calmy-Rey who mediated development of protocols to normalize Armenian-Turkish ties earlier.
The meeting is to clarify whether Switzerland wants to play the same role in helping resolve the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Turkey is under serious US pressure in normalizing relations with Armenia. The Armenian community of the US urges Washington to recognize the genocide of 1915. Vice-President Joe Biden said that a major anti-Turkish campaign is ongoing. The Jewish and Greek communities support the Armenian in the issue. There are concerns that a new attempt of recognizing the Armenian genocide at the Senate may be approved by the US legislatives for the coming presidential polls.
