After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Türkiye was among the first countries to recognise Armenia’s independence on Sept. 21, 1991. However, Ankara closed its border and severed diplomatic ties in 1993 following Armenia’s occupation of Azerbaijan's Karabakh region.
Relations began to improve after the Second Karabakh War, which resulted in the Azerbaijani liberation of Karabakh in the fall of 2020, with both countries appointing special envoys to pursue a normalization process, as part of which multiple rounds of talks were held.
