ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey and Armenia on Tuesday resumed talks aimed at normalising ties after a two-year lull and agreed to simplify visa rules for some passport holders, the two countries said.

Ankara severed diplomatic and commercial relations with Yerevan in 1993 in support of Azerbaijan during its war with Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh region, and has deepened ties with the ethnically Turkic Azeris in recent years.
