Taraf newspaper reported that the package that aims the normalization of relations with Armenia will be proposed within April. First step of the package for normalization is launching diplomatical relations with Armenia and opening of border. Other levels of the package will be actualized step by step. Package also includes establishment of a joint historians committee for discussion of 11915 events and Nagorno Karabakh problem.
According to the report of Taraf newspaper 'solution package' will form a change in 15 years old Armenia policy of Turkey and first step will be opening of diplomatical representation offices. Solution package is expected to include clauses over Nagono Karabakh problem and establishment of a joint historians committee.
Solution package that Armenia and Turkey had a deal over it, according to the report of Taraf, will be introduced to U.S. President Barack Obama. The Turkey visit of Obama has special importance since it is just before of discussion of so called Armenian genocide resolution in the U.S. Congress. On the other hand, TRT will start broadcasting of Armenian radio with the visit of Obama.
Armenia border of Turkey was closed after occupation of Nagorno Karabakh and seven surrounding region by Armenian armed forces in 1993. Another matter of dispute between Turkey and Armenia is different approaches of two country to the events that took place in 1915. But the main reason of lack of relations between two neighbour country, is invasion of another Turkic country Azerbaijan by Armenia. Ongoing occupation of Azerbaijan prevents establishing diplomatic relations and as it is stated by high level Turkish officials many times, opening of border and establishment of relations will be possible after an agreement over withdrawal of Armenian armed forces from Nagorno Karabakh.
