Turkey closed its border with Armenia in 1993 after Armenia occupied Nagorno-Karabakh, a region of Azerbaijan, Turkey's close ally and energy provider in the region.
The borders of United Armenia shall include all territories designated as Armenia by the Treaty of Sèvres as well as the regions of Artsakh, Javakhk, and Nakhichevan (See map).
Clashes along the Azerbaijan-Armenia border have intensified in recent weeks, with soldiers killed on both sides.
During the Nagorno-Karabakh War, clashes occurred between Armenian and Azeri forces in the Nakhichevan-Armenia border, however, the war did not spill over into Nakhichevan.
In recent years, Turkey has sought to play a bigger regional role, re-establishing ties with nearby Arab countries and reaching out to Armenia, whose border with Turkey has been closed since the 1990s, when Armenia was at war with its neighbor Azerbaijan, a Turkish ally.
And the action has spread to the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, where civilians have become targets.
The term United Armenia refers to the borders of Armenia recognized by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson and outlined in the Treaty of Sèvres.
Azerbaijan has accused Armenia of violating its border and shooting dead five of its soldiers, a day after three Armenians were killed in the same area.
