Turkey is coming closer to breaking a long-held taboo on the Armenian
question. An online petition, apologizing for the killing of Armenians
in 1915, has been issued by prominent Turkish academics. In just 3
days, the text has been signed by 13,000 people.
On the other side, the petition is perceived as treason by Turkish
nationalists and has opened a public debate in Turkey. The issue may
not be resolved easily, but the dialogue itself is a giant step in
Turkish political history.
