Turkey has lifted a restriction on direct trade with Armenia, marking a step towards improved relations between the two countries. This change allows goods to be shipped directly between Turkey and Armenia, which has been welcomed by Armenia as a significant move towards normalizing relations. Despite historical grievances and a closed border since the 1990s, both nations are working towards reconciliation and have resumed direct flights and eased visa restrictions. The relationship remains complex due to past conflicts and differing views on historical events.
