ANKARA - Turkey and Armenia agree on the roadmap to establish diplomatic ties and open the shared border. The timing of the declaration of the agreement remains key for Ankara. The key question is whether to announce the agreement before, during or after President Obama's visit.
There was a fair amount of thoughtful reactions from Turkey and abroad regarding the apology campaign that was launched on December 15, 2008.

Hoping to lower the impact of the crisis on their businesses, some entrepreneurs resort to halting production or laying off workers, while others move their businesses abroad, meaning the sector loses blood either way.
