Turkish-Armenian Reconciliation for Today

2008 September 6

The Centre for Research on Globalization recently released this editorial on reconciliation between Turks and Armenians, declaring that such a change is now not only necessary, but realistic and plausible. The Centre frames this shift in terms of small but meaningful victories – Turkish President Abdullah Gul’s visit to Yerevan, Armenian President’s Serzh Sargysyan’s invitation for his Turkish counterpart to attend the 2010 World Cup qualifying match between their countries’ teams. In the context of even larger movements – Turkey’s appeal for entry into the European Union and new “stability initiative,” the Centre concludes that now is the time for Turkish-Armenian reconciliation.
