Why have relations between Turkey and Armenia been hostile?
There are two main issues that create problems between Armenia and Turkey.1) Armenian Genocide: Turkey continues to deny the Armenian Genocide, wherein roughly 1.5 million Armenians were killed by the Ottomans, led by Ismail Enver Pasha, Mehmed Talaat Pasha, and Ahmed Djemal Pasha. Armenia has said that relations with Turkey cannot truly normalize until the Turkish government recognizes the horror of the Armenian Genocide. To read further about the Turkish Denial of the Armenian Genocide, please see the Related Question:Why does the Turkish government deny that a genocide took place?2) Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict: Under Soviet rule, Nagorno-Karabakh was an autonomous region within Azerbaijan that had a majority-Armenian population. When the Soviet Union broke up, Armenia and Azerbaijan began to argue about the future of the Nagorno-Karabakh region, both saying that the region deserved to be under their control. From 1988-1994, Armenian Karabakhtis and Azerbaijanis went to war with Nagorno-Karabakh effectively becoming an Armenian satellite country and Azerbaijan losing control of the region. The Karabakhtis and the Azerbaijanis have signed a ceasefire, but there is no peace treaty. In solidarity with the Azerbaijanis, Turkey has closed its border with Armenia, who it argues (correctly) supplied and continue to supply the Karabakhtis with weapons and strategic assistance.

What was the global impact of Armenian genocide?
The Armenian Genocide had a number of major effects. This list is nowhere near exhaustive.1) Armenian Deaths: The Genocide resulted in approximately 1.8 million Armenian deaths, cutting a large amount out of the Armenian population and forever devastating Armenian culture, society, and families. The overwhelming heartbreak and sadness is still very raw and close to the Armenian people in the same way that the Holocaust is still very raw and close to Jews and Romani (Gypsies).2) Ethnic Cleansing vs. the Millet System: The Ottoman Empire was an ethnically mixed empire, minorities such as Slavs, Greeks, Jews, and Armenians were found as minorities throughout the Empire. There were also corresponding populations of Turks in areas outside of what is now called Turkey. This mixture was represented at every city council according to the Millet System. Part of Turkey's nationalization process was to eject the scores of minorities and force them into ethnically cleansed regions. This has lessened the cultural diversity with Turkey and has resulted in numerous Armenian, Greek, Turkish, Jewish, and Slavic deaths and a bad taste in those races' mouths as concerns living in Turkey ever again.3) Armenian Intellectualism and Independence: Many of Armenia's finest intellectuals at the time were kidnapped and murdered leading to a temporary vacuum in Armenian leadership and an inability for the region to declare independence. Armenia was occupied by the Soviet Union from that point up until 1991.4) Turkish Identity & Diplomatic Issues: Turkey still refuses to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide which as made it difficult to establish diplomatic relations between the two countries. Turkey has also made it economically disadvantageous for other countries to recognize the Armenian Genocide and has staked much of its foreign policy on nullifying this event. This has resulted in many Turkish diplomatic problems, like EU entry, which is conditioned on Turkey's acceptance of the Armenian Genocide.5) Holocaust: Hitler once quipped to stifle a critic of the Final Solution to exterminate the Jewish people, "Who remembers the Armenians?" It was the international community's lack of widespread condemnation of the Armenian Genocide that helped to make the Holocaust viable.
