Armenia calls for normalization of relations with Turkey

November 8, 2026🇦🇲Armenia

Armenian Security Council Secretary stated that the 70-year negative perspective towards Turkey should end, emphasizing the need for normalization of relations.

Alen Simonyan, the Secretary of the Armenian Security Council, acknowledged that Armenia has mistakenly relied on a Russia-dependent security policy framed by a threat narrative against Turkey for 70 years. He stressed the necessity to end this misunderstanding and normalize relations between the two countries.

Simonyan highlighted the importance of leaving a legacy of peace for future generations and increasing dialogue with Turkey for regional stability. This development potentially signals changes affecting Turkish citizens and visa applications from Turkey directly in diplomatic and travel relations.

Improved Armenia-Turkey relations could lead to eased visa procedures and new cooperation opportunities especially for tourism and business travelers. Those planning travel in this context should monitor updates closely.
