See the attached Washington Post article. If the agreement it reports leads to normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia, two long-time enemies, this is an important milestone. It suggests that the Armenians are willing, in modern parlance, to "get over it" and move on. Getting over it is, to say the least, unusual in the region.
The Middle East has been a place where grudges are held for centuries. Arabs still obsess about "crusaders" when they defeated the last crusade seven hundred years ago. After the Ottoman Empire's decline in the early 1800s, there was again European colonial activity in the region until the end of World War II, but that ended at least fifty years ago.
If the Armenians can forgive the Turks for mass deaths which occurred a hundred years ago, maybe some other hard feelings in the region can be settled. If you are a betting person you'd bet against it happening; but if you are an optimistic person it could give you hope.
