Reconciliation Commission:
It is a sad reminder that the Reconciliation Commission composed of Turkish and Armenian former diplomats, academics and intellectuals who started a much-needed dialogue between the two sides on an informal basis and at the level of civil society, now seems deadlocked and somewhat failed. It was a courageous and timely venture, a worthy initiative of 10 wise men from both sides under the auspices of the Henry Dunnan Center for Humanitarian Dialogue. They, unfortunately, did not make much headway, even in search of joint projects to cover business, tourism, culture, education and, most importantly, confidence building measures between Turkey and Armenia. It is hoped that similar initiatives will be renewed or emerge again and continue towards the realization of similar tasks."
