Turkey said yesterday it hoped to open its border with longtime
foe Armenia by the year's end. The two countries, which have no
diplomatic ties and a history of animosity stemming from the mass
killing of Armenians by Ottoman Turks during the First World War,
announced plans to end a century of hostility. Reopening the border
would increase Turkey's influence in the region, while Armenia would
have access to Turkish and European markets.
