Turkish-Armenian normalization: Borders, hearts need to open up!
20 November 2009 / MİLLİYET HASAN CEMAL,
Of course the creation of new diplomatic relations and the opening of borders between Turkey and Armenia are very important. And we need to recognize and commend the “political determination” on this front displayed by both Ankara and Yerevan. But still, this is not enough.
As the borders open, hearts, too, must open up. And when this happens, we must move beyond being beholden to all the genocide debates. There is one more point I would like to add on this particular front: I believe the creation of more “shared platforms” with regard to history would work to speed up normalization in relations between both Turkey and Armenia as well as with Turks and Armenians.
