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.
