I wonder if it is possible to train people with such condition to successfully recognize faces.

I have some difficulties recognizing faces(not nearly as huge as describe in the article), and I think my ability improved during last couple of years.

I would imagine that to be the case.

Witness how many people report being unable to distinguish people from ethnicities that they're not used to interacting with.

Yup. Until I moved to the west coast all Indians looked like the same person to me.
