TURKEY TO REOPEN BORDER WITH ARMENIA

Turkey said yesterday it hoped to open its border with longtime
foe Armenia by the year’s end. The two countries, which have no
diplomatic ties and a history of animosity stemming from the mass
killing of Armenians by Ottoman Turks during the First World War,
announced plans to end a century of hostility. Reopening the border
would increase Turkey’s influence in the region, while Armenia would
have access to Turkish and European markets.

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
