AFP: Turkey, Armenia agree 'roadmap' on normalising ties

"Turkey, Armenia agree 'roadmap' on normalising ties

ANKARA (AFP) — Turkey and Armenia, troubled neighbours with no diplomatic ties, have agreed a 'roadmap' on normalising relations in ongoing reconciliation talks, the Turkish foreign ministry said Wednesday.

The announcement came just ahead of April 24, the day on which Armenians remember the mass killings of their kin by Ottoman Turks -- and two weeks after US President Barack Obama urged both countries to move ahead with fence-meding efforts during a visit to Turkey."
