Public Radio of Armenia (PRA) reports that Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan has confirmed  that he will visit Turkey this Friday to meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan 

Armenian parliamentary speaker Alen Simonyan on Tuesday said the visit would be "historic” and partly aimed at eliminating the risk of fresh fighting with Azerbaijan.

The two countries have no formal diplomatic relations.

Armenia hopes the talks will facilitate the normalization of ties between Yerevan and Ankara and reopen their shared land border after decades of enmity.

Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev will visit Erdogan in Turkey today, Erdogan's office reports.

Pashinyan first visited Turkey in June 2023 to attend President Erdogan’s inauguration ceremony.
