Turkey and Armenia to Establish Diplomatic Relations

HeadlineSep 01, 2009

In other international news, Turkey and Armenia have agreed to establish diplomatic relations after a century of hostility. The two nations said they would begin talks aimed at producing a formal agreement. It is unclear how the two sides will address the killing of more than a million Armenians by the Ottoman Turk government between 1915 to 1918. For decades, the Turkish government has denied the killings were genocide.
