Milliyet columnist Kadri Gürsel received the first Turkish-Armenian Journalism Award given by the Eurasia Partnership Foundation, Global Political Trends Center of Kültür University and Yerevan Press Club for contribution to normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations, Hurriyet Daily News reported.
“Reporting about Armenian issues used to be taboo for Turkish journalist in the past,” Gürsel said. “I cannot say this taboo has been broken totally, however it is not as strong as it used to be. Now we can write about this issue more freely.”
