Description
In front of the railway station in the town of Akyaka, the last Turkish stop before Armenia, the tracks have been abandoned to birds and stray dogs for nearly three decades. In this corner of Turkey's far northeast, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, the resumption of official contacts between Ankara and Yerevan, years after they broke off, has rekindled the hopes of the people, who are expecting a lot from the first meeting of the two countries' special envoys scheduled for Friday, and who especially want to see the reopening of the border, which has been closed since 1993.
