Former enemies can become friends when they face a shared threat. If it is in their mutual interest, they unite to confront a new enemy.
They are “becoming friends against” a common adversary.
Armenians and Iranians are not brothers, but they share a common interest: limiting Turkish expansion. For many European countries, a common threat has been Russia. For Greece and Bulgaria, that common enemy was the Ottomans.
Now Armenia and Azerbaijan are trying to improve relations, and its not hard to guess who is the common adversary.

Sweden and Denmark had had more wars against each other than any country in the world.

Sweden and Denmark have had 30+ wars since the year 1000 according to Wikipedia list. Some very brutal against civilians (Skåne in the 17th century). Nowadays we’re fine. It only took hundreds of years without war to change. So in the 2200s things might be all brotherly with Azerbaijan!

Not brothers especially with the Khameneis. With the people there is solidarity but its no brotherhood. The only brotherly nation towards Armenians could be Assyrians and even then there are some differences. Armenian are a unique people.

If you look it up, it’s been quite an on-and-off thing between Armenia and Iran throughout these 3000 years. It’s not really worse than any other neighbourly feuds.

Eventually we are not a stupid country anymore and our government understood the harsh reality of the world after the brutal war in 2020. We still have a lot of retards and useful idiots who follow russian propaganda to be forever enemies with its neighbors, but hopefully the majority of our people in Armenia finally understood that the only way to survive is to find a common ground with your powerful neighbors and don’t become a sheep that has to be sacrificed every time Russia wants to make it happen.

Does the bad relationship refer to the Sassanian times?

The Turks will not become friends with Armenians, as history shows repeated massacres of Armenians over the centuries. We, as Armenians, must not forget our history.
