WASHINGTON, DC — The Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict was on the agenda of newly appointed U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s phone call with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan reported by the U.S. State Department on Thursday.
Fidan phoned Rubio to congratulate him on the appointment, confirmed by the U.S. Senate earlier this week, and discuss bilateral relations and regional affairs.
According to the State Department spokeswoman, Tammy Bruce, the top U.S. diplomat reaffirmed “the importance of U.S.-Turkey relations, Turkey’s role as a key NATO Ally, and our shared interests in the region.”
