Turkish-Armenian relations here? Genocide recognition on hold again?
The State Department just announced a statement by Turkey and Armenia on Normalization of Relations. The Associated Press published an article 2 hours ago titled "Turkey says accord reached with Armenia on roadmap". The article of course gives no details at all about any actual plan, and certainly doesn't mention any signatures, commitments, or anything concrete.
So an announcement like this can only mean one thing. It's April 22nd, and Turkey is worried Obama will say GENOCIDE in his April 24th statement. After making all those announcements before Obama's Turkey visit about how close they were to normalizing relations, Turkey has said three times in the last few days that it will absolutely not normalize without the Karabakh precondition. So now everything is all settled? Just yesterday Turkey pulled their Ambassador to Canada because Canadian officials attended a genocide related event. I will say this, I just can't wait to see this roadmap.
Will Obama keep his promise, or will the Turkish games win the day? I want to believe that good will prevail, that this time, the campaign promises could be believed, but... the doubt is strong in me.

Hello, my name is Lucy Setian.
I want to present you my blog about the recognition of the Armenian genocide. It`s a fresh project, one of a kind in Bulgaria, but not only in BG language. It aims to get multilingual and to gain more friends, to be heard and seen.
I want to create and transform it to a proffesional online media - not only blog, but for that I would need some help. I invite you to see the project and hear if you are interested in it.
I thank you for the time and I hope we could get in contact soon. You can see the blog here:
