Armenia-Turkey relations

Armenia-Turkey relations are historically complex, primarily due to the 1915 Armenian Genocide during the Ottoman Empire and ongoing territorial and political disagreements. Armenia seeks recognition and reconciliation, while Turkey has often linked normalization to resolving issues related to the genocide and the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Despite shared historical and cultural ties, diplomatic relations have been strained, with limited formal engagement. Over the years, efforts at dialogue have occurred, but progress remains slow, influenced by national narratives and regional politics. The relationship continues to impact stability and cooperation in the South Caucasus region.
