The main issues are the Armenian Genocide and the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict . Internationally , since the 1970s Pakistan has supported Turkey 's policy of denying the Armenian genocide happened . The Nagorno-Karabakh region is mainly populated with ethnic Armenians after war , but is internationally recognised as being '' de jure '' inside the borders of Azerbaijan . The self-declared Republic of Artsakh , which '' de facto '' controls the region with Armenia 's support , is only recognised by Abkhazia , South Ossetia , and Transnistria , which all also lack the recognition of most nations . Pakistan had supported Azerbaijan during and after the Nagorno-Karabakh War . Due to its close relations with Armenia 's adversaries , Turkey and Azerbaijan , Pakistan considers the Khojaly Massacre to be a genocide . Pakistan was the third country after Turkey and Romania to recognize Azerbaijan , and has close relations with Azerbaijan . Azerbaijan supports Pakistan 's position on the Kashmir conflict . Because of the perceived pro-Azerbaijan and pro-Turkey policies by Pakistan , Armenia has developed friendly relations with India , and supports the Indian position on the Kashmir conflict
