Turkey, Armenia Agree To Restore Diplomatic Ties

In this link it states that Turkey and Armenia agree to restore diplomatic ties, but Armenia still hasn't withdrawn some of their troops out of the enclave to show goodwill and speed the opening of their joint border.

"We may end up in a kind of awkward situation where there are diplomatic relations, but the border is still closed," Taspinar said.

Personally i understand why the Armenians would keep their troops in the enclave for safe measures, because the Turkish did kill roughly 1.5 million Armenians near the end of the Ottoman Empire, though that wasn't brought up much during the meeting with the two representatives from each country, but I'm sure they still had it in mind.

I believe the Turkish do want the Armenians out of the enclave so they can open up the border but why do they care so much, the Turkish have been overpowering the Armenians for a century now. The only problem with closing off the border to Turkey is that you don't have a lot of other trade mates. Armenia only has a population of roughly 3 million while Turkey has 71 million, its a battle they cant win they should just take their troops out of the enclave and join in a alliance.

What do you think about the Turkish and Armenian Diplomatic breakdown?
