The United States hopes that President Serzh Sarkisian will visit Turkey in October to continue Yerevan's fence-mending "football diplomacy" with Ankara, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Matthew Bryza said over the weekend.
Bryza acknowledged at the same time that the U.S.-backed Turkish-Armenian dialogue has stalled of late and that he is now less optimistic about chances for the normalization of relations between the two estranged neighbors.
"What I had hoped was going to happen did not happen," he told RFE/RL's Armenian service. "Sometimes, if I'm asked to make a prediction, the prediction does not come true. I thought that there was a specific step that was about to occur."
