The US State Department South Europe Relations Department Director Buxter Hunt said in his letter that the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has asked Hunt to write a letter to the ATAA president and note that the administration does not support these drafts.

Hunt has indicated that the US will support the debates in academic, diplomatic and civil societies, and through economic and political dialogue between Turkey and Armenia.
