Turkish-Armenian border

The Turkish-Armenian border is a politically sensitive and mostly closed boundary between Turkey and Armenia, established after the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire and later conflicts. Since 1993, Turkey has maintained a strict blockade of Armenia, citing border security concerns related to regional conflicts and support for Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh. This has resulted in limited cross-border movement and economic interaction. The border remains officially closed, though there have been occasional diplomatic efforts to improve relations. The situation reflects complex historical, political, and regional issues influencing Turkish-Armenian relations and border policies.
