Pope Francis visited Armenia in June 2016. He urged the country to seek reconciliation with Turkey over the Armenian genocide and with Azerbaijan to find a solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

The Pope's use of the word 'genocide' as regards the massacre of Armenians in the beginning of 20th century was met with harsh criticism on the Turkish side.
