[The Wall Street Journal] Turkey-Armenia pact hits snags
30 January 2010 / ,
A deal between Turkey and Armenia to open their border and establish diplomatic relations after generations of dispute over genocide allegations and territory is under growing threat of collapse.
Armenia is pushing for rapid ratification of the deal, signed in October, while Turkey has a longer time frame. On Wednesday, Azerbaijan President İlham Aliyev added to concerns for the deal when he said he was confident Turkey wouldn’t ratify the agreement until Armenia has returned Azeri territory that it occupies, including the mainly ethnic-Armenian region of Nagorno Karabakh. “There is a common understanding in the region that there should be a first step by Armenia to start the liberation of the occupied territories,” Aliyev said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal in Davos, Switzerland.
