In order to study the Turkey–Armenia relations in past and present times and their processes, the current paper, taking into account geopolitical views, tries to analyze the political and economic consequences of normalization of Turkey–Armenia relationships. With respect to the outcome of this research, it seems, expansion of such ties would benefit Ankara, only if the national interests of other regional states are taken into account. In other words, ignoring the interests of other regional states in the course of normalization of Turkey–Armenia relations would damage the Turkish interests and its relations with Azerbaijan and Georgia. From the point of views of influential regional powers, too, the possible consequences of expansion of Turkey–Armenia ties would accompany particular complexities. With the expansion of such ties, we may see a kind of balance of influence between profit seeking powers in the region
