Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan expressed hope for the soon opening of the Armenian-Turkish border.

⠀

“I hope that the Armenian-Turkish border will open soon and there will be a basis for neighborly, natural relations,” Pashinyan said, speaking in parliament.

⠀
According to him, for this it is important to implement the agreement on opening the land border for citizens of third countries and holders of diplomatic passports over the coming months.

⠀
There are no diplomatic relations between Turkey and Armenia, the border between the two countries has been closed since 1993 at the initiative of Ankara. Difficult relations between the countries are caused by a number of circumstances related, in particular, to Turkey’s sharp reaction to the process of international recognition of the 1915 Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire.
