Well, it is an open secret that the pro-Western forces in Armenia are actually pro-normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relationship. These are the people who tend to support Nikol Pashinyan. Despite Turkey's ongoing conflicts with her Western partners, many Armenian citizens critical of Russia still believe that Turkey is their only real gate and escape rout to Europe and North America.
They want the borders to re-open as it is seen as the only sustainable solution to lower Russia's influence in the long term. Obviously, the Western world can't hardly wait to see this happening.
Weird thing is that the current Armenian leadership would bite the bullet but only if it is a Turkish one. Any policy, decision, step that can be perceived as caving in to Azerbaijani demands however is no option due to the immense public pressure in the Armenian diaspora. Turkey, on the other hand, can but won`t act on anything that hasn't been pre-approved by Baku.
The situation is messy.
