Armenia's participation in the Millennium Challenge Account was a new stage in development of the U.S.-Armenian relations. The U.S. is confident in the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. The U.S. is providing financial assistance and developing cooperation with Armenia. Nevertheless, in his annual speech in 2006 U.S. President George W. Bush again failed to properly acknowledge the events of 1915 by avoiding the word «genocide.» U.S. Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary John Evans answered some questions of PanARMENIAN.Net regarding these matters.

The latest developments in the region conditioned by the possibility of U.S. attack on Iran draw Washington's attention to Turkey and Azerbaijan to some extent. How can this "attention" reflect on the Armenian Genocide recognition and Karabakh conflict settlement. PanARMENIAN.Net requested head of the department of Turkey at the RA Academy of Sciences, Doctor Ruben Safarastyan for comments.
