Zurich Protocols

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zurich_Protocols

The Zurich Protocols refer to two bilateral protocols signed in 2009 by Armenia and Turkey that envisioned starting the process of normalizing relations between the two countries.[1] The agreement, later proved to be ineffectual, had been brokered by the United States, Russia and France.[2]

On 10 October 2009, the foreign ministers, Ahmet Davutoğlu for Turkey and Eduard Nalbandyan for Armenia, signed in Zurich the two protocols in a ceremony attended also by then U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, EU High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy Javier Solana, French Minister of Foreign Affairs Bernard Kouchner and Foreign Minister of Russia Sergey Lavrov.[3]

Armenia Annuls Normalization Protocols With Turkey

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MARCH 1, 2018, 12:03 P.M. E.S.T.

YEREVAN, Armenia — Armenia's president has annulled long-dormant protocols aimed at normalizing ties with Turkey.

According to his spokesman, Vladimir Akopyan, President Serzh Sargsyan made the announcement Thursday at a meeting of the country's security council.

The so-called Zurich Protocols signed by Yerevan and Ankara in 2009 were designed to open the Turkey-Armenia border and normalize diplomatic ties. The agreement required ratification by both countries' parliaments.

Turkey closed its border with Armenia in 1993 in protest of the war in Nagorno-Karabakh, a predominantly ethnic-Armenian region of Azerbaijan. Nagorno-Karabakh now is under the control of forces that claim to be local ethnic Armenians but that Azerbaijan alleges include Armenian troops.

The countries are also embroiled in a dispute over the massacre of 1.5 million Armenians a century ago by Ottoman Turks.
