Normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia can be called a good step towards lasting peace in the region. According to Armenia 1.5 million people, Armenia says were killed in 1915 by the Ottoman Empire, the Armenian government claimed that the 1915 killing can be equated with the genocide. Both countries have disputed territory and particularly, in the 2020 war over the Nagorno-Karabakh territory. Turkey accused ethnic Armenian forces of occupying land that belong to Azerbaijan.

The blame game can prove counterproductive for Turkey and Armenia. Both states are independent countries and are supposed to act in accordance with international norms that are enforced through international law. The violation of treaty or peace agreements can turn disagreement into conflicts that is a source of concern for all states of the world. The roadmap for conflictual issues requires serious efforts from both countries can bring stability to their relations.
