Both sides evaluated opportunities to enhance bilateral collaboration in energy.

Efforts to normalize relations between Armenia and Türkiye have been ongoing. In July 2022, an agreement was reached in Vienna, Austria, allowing third-country nationals travelling between the two nations to cross the Armenian-Turkish land border. The same agreement also outlined steps to facilitate direct air cargo transportation, a process that remains under discussion.
