Envoy Sees Continued U.S. Involvement In Armenia, Region

The United States will remain "deeply involved" in international efforts to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and keep pressing for the implementation of Turkish-Armenian normalization agreements during President Barack Obama's second term, Ambassador John Heffern said on Wednesday.

"The Obama administration and Secretary [of State Hillary] Clinton devoted a lot of time and attention to Armenia and the South Caucasus," Heffern said, commenting on implications of Obama's reelection for U.S-Armenian relations. "Secretary Clinton came here twice during her term in office … President Obama has been deeply involved in trying to find a peaceful resolution to Nagorno-Karabakh. I think that all of that will continue in the second term."
