/Washingtonpost.com/ ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey's government will submit to parliament next week an accord to establish diplomatic relations and reopen the border with Armenia, government spokesman Cemil Cicek said on Monday.

The two neighbors signed landmark accords to end a century of hostility at a ceremony in Zurich on Saturday after last-minute mediation by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton salvaged the deal.
The accord needs parliamentary approval in both countries in the face of opposition from nationalists on both sides and a Armenian diaspora, which insists Turkey acknowledge the 1915 mass killings of Armenians by Ottoman forces as genocide.

Cicek did not say when parliament is scheduled to vote on the deal, but Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday that parliamentary ratification would require Armenian concessions in its conflict with Turkish-ally Azerbaijan over the Nagorno-Karabakh enclave.
