Opening to Armenia, not a smooth process either
The difficulties lying ahead in Turkey’s opening to Armenia surfaced on October 10 in Zurich while the foreign ministers of the two countries were preparing to sign a protocol brokered by Switzerland. The signing ceremony scheduled for 18.00 was delayed more than three hours when both ministers objected to the content of planned speeches to be made by their opposite number.

“Opening” is the word that has dominated Turkey’s political scene for more than six months now. It seems that the coming winter months would not be able to witness a change of tune unless earthshaking events push this term to the backstage. One of the so-called policy openings concern Turkey’s biggest domestic headache, the Kurdish problem. The other is related to the normalization of relations with Armenia. Although both initiatives were met with optimism in the beginning, six months later they seem even more entangled than ever.
