Special envoys from Turkey and Armenia will hold a second round of talks in Vienna later this month to normalise ties after decades of animosity. The day after direct flights re-started between Yerevan and İstanbul, FRANCE 24's Turkey correspondents Shona Bhattacharyya and Ludovic de Foucaud traveled to the Armenian capital to find out what residents there think of the thawing of relations.
Shoppers and vendors who would agree to speak on camera are few and far between. Many are angry that Armenia's prime minister Nikol Pashinyan accepted Turkey's invitation to talk without first recognising what Armenia calls the 1915 genocide.
