Armenia-Turkey Protocols’ signing ceremony was delayed last minute due to the statement’s wording the sides had to voice.

U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton returned to her hotel before the signing ceremony.

“We' are facilitating the two sides on coming to an agreement on the statements they are going to make at the ceremony,” State Department spokesman Ian Kelley stated.

Hillary Clinton held meeting with RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan and phone talks with Turkish representatives, one of the diplomats told Associated Press on the conditions of anonymity.
