3 visits from Armenia to Turkey at the level of the head of state and 0 visits from Armenia to Armenia.
A few days ago, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan was on a working visit to Turkey. On November 11, he traveled to Antalya to attend the COP31 leaders' summit of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
This was Pashinyan's third visit to Turkey during his tenure. He first traveled to Turkey on June 3, 2023 to attend the inauguration ceremony of the head of state, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, which took place in Ankara.
The second visit took place on June 20, 2025. Pashinyan went on a working visit to Istanbul, where he met with Erdogan. The agenda of the meeting included the normalization process of Armenia-Turkey relations, regional developments and opportunities for bilateral cooperation.
The third visit, as we have already mentioned, took place on November 11 this year, during which there was also a meeting between Pashinyan and Erdogan.
What happened in the opposite direction?
During a visit to Turkey in 2025, Pashinyan said that he intends to invite Erdogan to Yerevan.
On October 27 of the same year, Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan announced that verbal invitations had been delivered to Erdogan and Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev.
On November 4, Pashinyan already confirmed that he personally invited the President of Turkey to participate in the summit of the European political community, which was supposed to take place in Yerevan.
The event took place in Yerevan on May 4, 2026, but Erdogan did not come to Armenia. Instead, the Vice President of Turkey, Cvdet İlmaz, arrived in Yerevan.
Turkey was also invited to the COP17 conference, which took place in Yerevan in October 2026, but in this case, the Turkish side was represented at the ministerial level. Turkish Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Ibrahim Yumakli arrived in Yerban.
Thus the meetings and invitations between the leaders of the two countries continue, but when it comes to visits the picture is different: Pashinyan does not miss an opportunity to travel to Turkey, while Erdogan rejects invitations.
