International Conference "Regional and National Security Dynamics: Armenia-Turkey Relations", 29 September 2017 

 

The relations between Turkey and Armenia have been widely covered in the academic literature. It has been approached from many perspectives and it seems no dimension is left out from the discussions. However, as long as the two countries have no diplomatic relations and the land border between them remains closed, no effort should be spared to evaluate existing and emerging predicaments and find ways to move forward. From this standpoint, Mr. Ambassador’s well written paper is yet another informed effort to look into the essence and prospects of normalization of Turkish-Armenian relations.
