PanARMENIAN.Net – Milliyet columnist Kadri Gürsel received the first
Turkish-Armenian Journalism Award given by the Eurasia Partnership
Foundation, Global Political Trends Center of Kültür University and
Yerevan Press Club for contribution to normalization of the
Armenian-Turkish relations, Hurriyet Daily News reported.

`Reporting about Armenian issues used to be taboo for Turkish
journalist in the past,’ Gürsel said. `I cannot say this taboo has
been broken totally, however it is not as strong as it used to be. Now
we can write about this issue more freely.’
