U.S. President Barack Obama is expected to ask Turkish officials to
open borders with Armenia during his visit to Turkey on April 5-7, the
ZAMAN newspaper reported.

The newspaper said it spoke with insider diplomatic sources.

Armenian-Turkish ties have been severed since 1993 due to Armenia’s
claims of an alleged genocide, and the country’s occupation of 20
percent of Azerbaijani lands.

Turkish President Abdullah Gul visited Yerevan on Sept. 6, 2008 upon
the invitation of his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sarkisyan to watch an
Armenia-Turkey football match.

Efforts have been made to normalize ties between the two countries
ever since.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
