In Turkey, disclosed the details of the deal with Armenia.
KommentariiKakoy cost? 24.04.2009Armyanskih alerted politicians deal with TurtsieyNehozhenymi tropami23.04.2009Doroga Turkey into the EU is through ArmeniyuV Turkey were released the main points of the "road map" - an agreement on improving relations with Armenia. These details, which have not yet been formally announced MIDami the two countries issued a Turkish newspaper Sabah.
According to the publication, "Road Map", is composed of five items. First, Armenia is obliged to recognize the Kars Treaty, signed in 1921 by Turkey and the republics of the USSR (the peace treaty signed after the Turkish-Armenian War 1920, by which Armenia has lost a number of territories). The Turkish side, in turn, agrees to open its border with Armenia (which Turkey closed in 1993 after the outbreak of armed conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh). In addition (third paragraph), will be resumed diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Ankara also requires the establishment of a joint commission of historians, which will explore the material on the persecution and extermination of Armenians in Turkey at the beginning of XX century (events that Armenia and other countries call it genocide). Finally, the last paragraph of the road map states that the document must be approved by the Parliament of Turkey (whether approval by the Armenian parliament, the publication does not specify).
Officially, the road map, according to Sabah, will be released only in May 2009.
The newspaper, referring to unnamed sources, also argues that such an issue, as the settlement of the Karabakh conflict, was not included in the "road map", but "de facto" the Turkish side will be linked with the restoration of relations with Armenia.
Previously, we remind, representatives of Turkey stated that the border with Armenia will not be opened until the "will not be released on the occupied territories of Azerbaijan" (both in Baku and Ankara, called the territory of the unrecognized Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh, the Azerbaijani authorities outside). Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, commenting on a possible rapprochement with Armenia, stated that Turkey would continue to "protect the interests of the Azerbaijani brothers." In the Turkish media has also been published unofficial information that, in exchange for opening the border with Armenia was to be released areas from the "security belt" (the territory of Nagorny Karabakh, the Karabakh forces employed during the war, beginning 1990).
It should be noted that in Armenia a number of political movements (including one of the oldest parties, the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, which is part of the ruling coalition) skeptically assess the prospects of rapprochement with Turkey. Their representatives said that no security and the status of Karabakh (which insists on the independence of Armenia), no question about the Armenian Genocide (according to some observers by agreeing to "a commission of historians", the official Yerevan into question the fact of the genocide) can not be a bargaining chip in negotiations with Ankara. Some opponents have accused the leadership of the republic of "betrayal" of power in the suspected intention to enter into some kind of secretive deal with Turkey to the detriment of the interests of Armenia.

Following the Cardinal might begin to choose the new Pontiff to Catholics around the world will not be left without a spiritual leader.
Adolf Hitler had planned a conspiracy against Pius XII, because she feared that his influence will contribute to the anti-fascist resistance in the Catholic countries of Europe. In addition, Pius XII condemned the destruction of the Jews (and secretly authorized a series of operations to rescue them), and this fact, historians believe, is also setting Führer against the Pontiff. It has been suggested that high-ranking SS officer Karl Wolff, who was entrusted with the arrest of the Pope, the Vatican warned of the forthcoming plan. It may be that he persuaded Hitler to abandon the idea of the arrest of Pius XII.
