History likes to repeat itself

If the reaction wasn't " thanks" , it was the wrong reaction.

It was “I will always remember the generous aid sent by the people of Armenia to help alleviate the sufferings of our people in the earthquake-stricken region in Turkey,” so yeah, basically a "Thanks."

have to admit i commented before i read the article.
But indeed, you are correct.

I think that opening up a border that has been closed for 30 years is the very definition of interesting to me

to be fair, the trains prob aren’t running again yet

They didn’t use them the first time they genocided he Armenians.

Turkey

Generally, something happening for the first time in 30 years is interesting.

“Border closed for 30 years reopens for the first time” I bet this kraken guy would’ve been more interested

I admit, I misread it as 'rejects' at first, then I noticed which sub this was and read the title again.

I'm really glad that despite the terrible history and diplomatic relations between the two, the Armenians still found the kindness to send aid and help to Turkey in it's hour of need and that the Turkish government allowed the aid in. Hopefully this will have a long term positive impact on Turkish-Armenian relations.

Even a small act of kindness and altruism can help better the world.

Comforting to see these is still some hope for us left.

Not every act of kindness needs to be met with hard cynicism.

We are on uplifting news, so even if it wasn’t strictly a “thanks” we can infer from the context they weren’t being dicks

I note that Greece Turkey relationships were strengthened by previous acts of kindness following respective earthquakes, and remain strengthened still

Very true, had i noticed the actual subreddit name.

I know that government doesn’t usually reflect the feelings of the people, but I still think it’s unacceptable that the Turkish government hasn’t made a statement of recognition of the genocide.

I’m deeply saddened for the Turkish people who lost their lives, close ones, and homes. But the government owes Armenia more than a “thank you” in my opinion
