The United States has noted "with disappointment" Turkey's announcement that it would suspend Armenian airline overflight permission, a U.S. State Department spokesman said on May 3. "The agreement that had previously been reached between these two countries to resume air connections had been a very important confidence-building measure not just between these two countries but...for regional stability broadly," spokesman Vedant Patel said during a briefing. "It's our sincere hope that Turkey and Armenia can continue to rebuild economic ties and open transportation links as well." To read the original story by Reuters, click here.
