Armenia's Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan is set to undertake a working visit to Antalya on March 1 to participate in the Antalya Diplomatic Forum, as announced by the Armenian Foreign Ministry.

The Antalya Diplomacy Forum, scheduled from March 1 to March 3, is an initiative led by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Mirzoyan also attended the Forum in 2022.

Former Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu announced the closure of Türkiye's airspace to Armenian planes due to the opening of the "Nemesis Monument" in Yerevan in May 2023, despite normalization talks.

Later in September, the conflict in Karabakh erupted once again.

Now in its third iteration, the Antalya Diplomacy Forum will bring together heads of state and governments, ministers, diplomats, business leaders, academics, think-tank experts, as well as representatives from youth and media sectors for comprehensive discussions.

The central theme for this year's forum is "Advancing Diplomacy in Times of Turmoil." The aim is to provide a deep reflection and explore pathways toward peaceful resolutions amid the turbulent global landscape.

From ongoing conflicts and acts of terrorism to issues of irregular migration, the rise of xenophobia and Islamophobia, challenges posed by artificial intelligence, climate change, natural disasters, pandemics and widening socioeconomic disparities are going to be addressed.

Additionally, the erosion and loss of trust in the rules-based international order are concerning trends, affecting the predictability of the global operating environment for states.
