When did the border between Turkey and Armenia close?

Armenia–Turkey border says 1993 but:

On which day precisely did the land border close? when was it voted/announced?
What about direct flights?

This article says 4 April, but this one and this one say 3 April. This book also goes for 3 April. Alansplodge (talk) 20:40, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It's also April 3rd according to the BBC, I'll add this date to the article. A455bcd9 (talk) 08:47, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What about the airspace? This source says April 5th. I found another one saying 1994. But it reopened at least in 2022: Al Jazeera, Azatutyun, if not before 2020, 2015. A455bcd9 (talk) 08:56, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Armenia–Turkey relations gives a different version as resolution 822 was adopted on 30 April 1993: "Turkey cosponsored UN Security Council Resolution 822 affirming Nagorno-Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and demanding that Armenian forces withdraw from Kelbajar. Later in 1993 Turkey joined Azerbaijan in imposing an economic embargo on Armenia and the border between the two states was closed." A455bcd9 (talk) 08:58, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
