ZURICH, Switzerland (CNN) -- The historic Saturday signing of an agreement normalizing relations between Turkey and Armenia was delayed when the Armenian delegation objected to the wording of an oral statement.
The Swiss-mediated peace deal would open the border between the countries, which has been shut since 1993.
"We are facilitating the two sides in coming to an agreement on the statements that they're going to make at the ceremony," U.S. State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said.
He didn't indicate what Armenia's problem with the wording was.
The statement was to be delivered after the signing in Zurich. Officials said the signing is apparently not jeopardized by the holdup.
