Armenia expert Richard Giragosian: Peace between Armenia, Turkey more likely than before

Turkey helped its Turkic Muslim ally Azerbaijan defeat Armenia in a short and bloody war over the mainly Armenian enclave of Nagorno Karabakh last fall. A Russian brokered peace remains in place and now Turkey says it is ready to reopen its sealed borders and establish diplomatic relations with Armenia . Armenia says it too is ready to normalize ties with Turkey. Given the tragic history, the 1915 genocide of more than a million Armenians by Ottoman forces, and the recent spate of bloodshed with Armenia losing large chunks of contested territory along with others it occupied in an earlier war, the newly dovish spirit has caught the uninitiated by surprise.

Facts on ground: Russian troops have left Nagorno Karabakh. Armenia cedes territory to Azerbaijan.

Not Armenia, the puppet, foreign-financed and installed “government” of Armenia…

And by foreign I mean the US/UK and collective West

A major portion of the Armenian community is very uncomfortable with normalizing anything with turkey. Mostly because to do so would require major concessions and capitulation. Erdogan actually asks for constitutional changes to Armenians constitution, a separation of the Armenian diaspora from influencing Armenia, as well as normalizing ties based on forgetting about the genocide. None of this is any of his business, and is the equivalent of national suicide . There are protests about this. I am surprised at this interview and usually Giragossian is very informative. But it’s quite misleading here to think of that this is going to be a simple process or that Armenians are ready to forget the horrors they have experienced throughout the years at the hands of any collaborating turks.

Major concessions and capitulation?? Basically what Turkey want is Armenia to be realistic. You have to recognize the border, stop land demands and any other reparation non sense. With the shrinking population of Armenia this is the only logical way. You do not even have to be smart to see this.
