Bilateral relations between Türkiye and Armenia have been strained for many years.
One of the most important reasons for the cold relations between the two countries is the Armenian side's stance on the 1915 events.
The Armenian side is trying to have the world recognize the so-called "genocide" of the "deportation" policy of the Ottoman Empire against Armenians during the World War I.
While Türkiye says that both sides suffered greatly during the war, it strongly rejects Armenia's so-called genocide allegations.
Both Ankara and Yerevan have recently taken steps to normalize bilateral relations.
Türkiye and Armenia are taking steps to normalize their bilateral relations.
At a time when normalization efforts are underway, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's statements attracted considerable attention.
Pashinyan stated that the government has frozen its attempts to have the so-called genocide allegations recognized in the international arena and called on the Armenian diaspora to adopt the same attitude.
The recent change of policy by Pashinyan, who has been on the agenda with his anti-Türkiye statements in previous years, is considered as an indication that the normalization efforts in the relations between Türkiye and Armenia have yielded results.
