Nobel Laureates Agree: Armenia & Turkey Should Cooperate!



Too bad they're all wrong.
...the Nobel Prize winners call on the Turkish government to end up with discrimination towards national and religious minorities and cancel Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code, which supposes criminal punishment for "insulting Turkishness". Nobel Prize winners call on Armenia to "give opportunity for holding free and fair elections, as well as respect human rights." Alongside they urge Turkey to open borders with neighboring Armenia, speed up mutual contacts and establish full diplomatic relations

In particular, the [U.N.] Convention says, "events at the beginning of the 20th century contain all elements of Genocide, approved by the convention," the document underscores
A lot of the points are valid, but Turkey has a lot of work to do before the opening of the border can be discussed.

Just so I'm clear... if Turkey opened the border tomorrow, you'd want to keep it closed from this side?
