      Will there be a surprise decision to open the borders?

      Or appointing ambassadors?

      Ok seeing those flags hang together is kinda insane… in a good way.
      I know it’s protocol and whatever and its not like all our problems with Turkey are suddenly resolved or anything. But just that sight… who would have thought

      This is kinda insane to see. I have always said that opening the borders is a win win situation. We need to focus on our future. however the problem in our region is Azerbaijan and Israel. I wish something good comes out of this.

      Love to see this. Opening the borders and kicking Russians out would be historic

      It made my day!

      Edit: Why he wasn’t welcomed by Erdogan? I don’t see any malevolent approach. Pashinyan precisely sought a trip to Istanbul where he will meet the Armenian community. An official ceremony would be arranged once he arrives in Ankara.

      Awesome! I really hope this is the start of resolution, maybe even friendship someday.

      Turkish here.

      Dear diaspora people, please don’t go crazy. You’re not the ones who have to struggle with the problems between Turkey and Armenia. This is a good step for peace and Armenians in Armenia.

      Seeing the situation in Iran it’s probably for the best to re establish relations with Turkey. It’s time to move forward

      It is normal protocol. I don’t know the civilian bureaucrats but the highest ranking uniformed officer is Gendarmerie Colonel.

      we will have even better relations when we dispose of erdogan and install imamoglu, hopefully better than aliyevs whatever

      None of us here will solve anything or be listened to but ideally, what should happen (and it would benefit both sides) would be to have formalized diplomatic relations, (even India and Pakistan have those for gods sake), end of the blockade on Armenia and normalized border protocols, and so forth. Basically, normal neighbors.

      Armenia does not have and has never had preconditions on Turkey. Armenia has no territorial or other demands on Turkey. If Turkey feels threatened by Armenia, that’s insane, Armenia is only 3 million people with a developing economy and just lost a war. This is an asymmetrical relationship at all levels right now- it is not Armenia that is the problem.

      It has been Turkey that has invariably changed the goal posts related to normalizing relations. This has been predominately due to the influence of Azerbaijan (the tail wags the dog in this case) but also related to mutual enmity and mistrust between Armenians and Turks as people. Realistically, that will take generations to subside but we can at least get to a place of magnanimity and that would benefit all. Also, lets take into account that Turkey and Azerbaijan are currently being ruled by dictators that are not subject to limitations, essentially rule by fiat, behave erratically, and are extremely self interested in their own clans, etc. – this will most certainly guide how the slowly the process could take, if it goes at all.

      My fear is that Armenia will be pressured to give away a corridor in Syunik to forestall war. I would not put this past Erdogan.

      Truly seems like a historic occasion, it is so interesting seeing these flags side by side, I hope a mutual respectful new start can begin with it, I’ve always had sympathy for Armenians

    19. surenk6 on

      I mean, I do really want the relationship to improve and the borders to open. But, I have to admit that I don’t really trust the current Sultan’s govt in terms of their sincerity to normalize things.

      I really want peace and security. I want our children to have a future to look forward to, not this uncertainty and indifference that makes them question whether it’s worth it to invest in their future, or only live by what is available today.

      Turkey wants a land corridor thru Zangezur to send military assistance to South Azerbaijan to prevent Iranian Kurds from carving out an autonomous region in Iran if the Iranian regime collapses because of the Israeli attacks.

      I wonder what is the subject of this meeting. Knowing how week pashinian is I don’t have any good feelings

    24. kakaleyte on

      WW3 at the door and centre of it will be Middle East.

      If it happens, big powers of the world will want Turks and Armenians to turn against each other. There is nothing to gain for each country if we fight with each other.

      We don’t have to get along, but we need to have peace in the region.

      Kinda interesting that yesterday in parliament there was a beef about Talat Pasha between DEM party, IYI Party and Republican’s People Party. DEM Party’s deputy said that „Talat is a genocidal and oppressor pasha of christian people at that time and the state should apologize to the people who are victims and give their name to parks, monuments and such.“ IYI Party’s deputy disagreed with him and stood with Talat Pasha but Republican People’s Party who is chairman didn’t give him enough time to finish his speech. After the beef, some IYI Party members accused Republican Party of just standing with their chairman and not Talat Pasha. Ozgur Ozel said this is not right time to argue such arguments and some CHP members said „we don’t have to stand with Talat Pasha. Of course he is killed in such unrightful way but our way is the Ataturk’s way which was against the Enver, Cemal and Talat.“ After that, some AKP trolls defended Talat Pasha and IYI Party against CHP.

      It seemed like an interesting theater play between AKP-IYI Party and DEM party. Now Erdogan is meeting with Armenia. This really seemed like theater play to me.

      Not expecting anything good from this, honestly.

      Even in this comment section, the support for normalization is about „forget what we did and focus on the present and future.“
      We won’t forget never.

      Besides that, I am expecting for TR to present 2 options to AM:

      1) you give Syunik to AZ so that we can have a corridor between the two brotherly nations (easy way)
      2) I enable and support AZ in its mission of finishing what we started and taking all of Armenia (hard way)
