Despite high-level announcements, the Armenia–Turkey normalization process is at a standstill. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan links normalization with Ankara to the signing of a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, leading to a seeming deadend.

Can external actors, including Europe, Russia, the United States, and Iran, provide effective support for Armenia–Turkey normalization?
