The Christian Science Monitor: Gul and Sargsyan Nobel Prize winners?
01:27 / 10/11/2009
The Christian Science Monitor wonders whether Armenian and Turkish
leaders will become next Nobel Prize winners.
`It’s not every day that two neighboring but not neighborly countries
agree to overcome a century of deep hostility, especially states that
sit at one of the world’s most strategic ` and volatile ` crossroad.
In Zurich, diplomats from both countries ` one a Christian nation and
the other Muslim ` signed an historic agreement Oct. 10 to normalize
relations and open their border.
Nationalist forces in Turkey and Armenia will try to derail the
agreement, and prevent ratification. It will take skilled leadership
on the parts of Gul and Sargsyan to sail past these political shoals `
and perhaps all the way to Oslo to collect the next Nobel,’ the
article reads.
