09/22/09 - Remarks submitted for the Congressional Record - Madam Speaker, the Republics of Turkey and Armenia took a major step forward in August moving closer to normalizing diplomatic relations and developing productive bilateral relations. Such a step chips away at the past tension between the two nations.

The protocols agreed to by the two parties will ultimately lead to the opening of the border between the two countries. This will not only ease tensions between Armenia and Turkey but will also enhance stability in the region. These protocols also established a timetable and process for normalizing relations. As a Co-Chair of the Congressional Caucus on Turkey, I support the statements by the international community such as the NATO Secretary General and the U.S. Department of State in welcoming improvements in Turkey-Armenia relations.

These efforts are a tremendous step in the proper direction, but there are still further steps to come. I encourage the two governments to move forward with their internal consultations and parliamentary ratifications of the protocols as quickly as possible, so that a new chapter in the Turkish-Armenia bilateral relationship can begin to unfold. This is an historic change that will benefit both nations, and the United States wholeheartedly supports these actions.
