On Friday, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan made history by becoming the country’s first leader since the Cold War to pay an official visit to Turkey.

Pashinyan's meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the Dolmabahce Palace in Istanbul represents the hope of two countries to normalize relations.

Turkey halted diplomatic ties with Armenia in 1993, following the crisis of Nagorno-Karabakh.

According to a statement from the Turkish presidency, the trip is considered a “working visit”. 

Both foreign ministers and special envoys for normalization are also attending, allowing the delegations to discuss every aspect of the bilateral relationship.

Earlier this week, Pashinyan talked about the improvement in Turkish-Armenian relations, adding, the two countries can now communicate directly.
