Armenia's position geographically means it needs to have its borders opened with Turkey, Turkey on the other hand is not landlocked, it doesnt effect Turkey as near as much as Armenia.
Secondly, how can Turkey open its borders to a nation that is campaining across the world against it. I have no doubt that if your politicians agree to sit down look at the facts, Turkey will open its borders. It will have no reason not to. And if they get together and conclude that the ottomans did infact commit genocide i am sure the Turkish government will acknowledge this, it has no reason not to, it is not responsible for what the ottomans did.
Cut the rubbish Big Al!
1.) The entire planet -including the stones but you Turkish nationalists, knows that the Armenian genocide did happen and that 1.5 million Armenians weren't simply been abducted by Extra Terrestrials!
2.) What is now called "Turkiye" is nothing more than the "oddment" ("retali") of the Ottoman Empire, by its own volition and signature; and yes, it does have a problem recognizing the genocide crimes of its Ottoman ancestor, simply because this distorted and pervasive idea about Turkishness that you all seem to have been indoctrinated into, you feel will be seriously threatened or damaged and that large parts of Turkiye's population (those millions you forced to become baptized as Turks -or mountain Turks- overnight,) will begin taking a distance with such an anyway fake Turkishness ideal! In this way, you figured out, your kemalistan paradise, which is anyway based on imposition and manipulation, will be seriously questioned by its own subjects!
3.) Turkey will anyway have to open its boarders to Armenia, just like it will soon have to recognize the RoC, as part of the terms to its EU accession process, if it wishes to remain on track! After all, the Armenians are not doing anything else other than asking for the recognition of a crime against their people that DID happen anyway! I have yet to hear of any planet outside the solar system that Armenians have established a colony that they call Armenistan, after according to your implied theories 1.5 million of them have been kidnapped and carried away by ETs!
