Re: Liberation of Western Armenia
The number of Armenians willing normalization of relations with Turkey has increased recently, head of the department of international relations at University of Economic and Technology, professor Mustafa Aydin said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net. “Of course, problems still exist. One of them is Armenia’s recognition of present-day Turkey’s borders, according to the Treaty of Kars. The second is the tragedy of 1915 which is viewed by many Turks as history having nothing in common with the modern Turkish State. The 1915 events shouldn’t hamper the Armenia-Turkey public dialog,” he said. Armenians from Diaspora insisting on recognition of the 1915 events as Genocide pose obstacle to the dialog, according to him. “Armenians in Armenia and more tolerant and it’s easier to hold talks with them. But it’s my personal opinion,” prof. Aydin remarked.

Is Armenia’s non-recognition of Turkey’s borders main obstacle to normalization of Turkish-Armenian relations?
