"The Armenian-Turkish relations are not in a stage to be in the focus
of attention of businessmen. Furthermore, after every statement
by Edrogan and Davutoglu I get an impression that the chances of
ratification of the Armenian-Turkish protocols by the Turkish side
is gradually reducing," Chairman of the NA Standing Committee on
Financial-Credit and Budgetary Affairs Gagik Minasyan told a press
conference today.
Gagik Minasyan presented the positive aspects of opening of the
Armenian-Turkish border for businessmen.
"Everyone remembers that we faced most serious economic problems,
when the corridor was closed for a short period of time during the
Russian-Georgian war. What if the conflict lasted for two months? We
would have greater problems. In this regard, the opening of the
Armenian-Turkish border is of strategic importance," the MP said.
