Time for Turkey to try quiet diplomacy

Editorial argues that Turkey should display quiet and responsible diplomacy. 'The next few months bring two great challenges. The first is to normalise relations with Armenia and reopen the border closed by Turkey in 1993 in support of Azerbaijan. The second is to reach a settlement with Greece over Cyprus, a dispute which poisons decision-making inside the EU and Nato. If Turkey can display statesmanship on both these fronts, it will significantly bolster its claims to EU accession'.
