YEREVAN (Sputnik) — Turkey and Armenia have no diplomatic relations with their border closed since 1993.

The complex relations between the two countries have also been strained by Ankara refusing to name mass killings of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire a genocide.

"Please accept my condolences in connection with the incident. I wish tenacity and courage to the relatives of the victims and a speedy recovery to the wounded," Sargsyan said in a message.
