YEREVAN, JUNE 12, ARMENPRESS. Turkey’s “Zero Problems With Neighbors” policy was a window through which the US could negotiate a thaw in Armenia-Turkey relations, with hopes of opening the border and initiating diplomatic relations between the two countries. The former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton wrote about this in her book “Hard Choices”. Armenpress reports that after reading the book the editor of Asbarez Ara Khachatouryan shared his impressions by an article published in Asbarez periodical.

Khachatouryan underscores that in reading Hillary Rodham Clinton’s book one is led to believe that she was the architect of the dangerous Turkey-Armenia Protocols, elevating the US’s role in the doomed process, to which both Armenia and Turkey have laid claim.

She claims that “Hard-liners in both countries were implacably opposed to compromise and put considerable pressure on each government not to make a deal,” without mentioning that her own American constituents were vocally opposed to this sham, which was concocted by her predecessors in the Bush Administration and behind which the Obama Administration rabidly threw its support.

Clinton also calls the Armenian Genocide issue, the recognition of which she advocated during her failed presidential campaign, an “emotionally charged conflict” between Armenia and Turkey.
