Turkey and Armenia take first steps to normalize relations

It's not everything, but it's something. Turkey and Armenia agreed "in principle to normalize relations," according to the WaPo. Not everyone is jumping out of their seats, and it now enters the steps of ratification in both states. Obama and the folks at State worked on cementing the initial steps, and it's part of Ankara's goal to improve its standing in the region with the backing of the US. I'm sure that this assists Turkey's goal of joining the EU.
