Zaman. Turkish businessmen demand opening of Armenian-Turkish border
The liturgy to be served in the Holy Cross Church of Akhtamar brought
again into the agenda the issue of Armenian-Turkish normalization
process. Turkish `Zaman’ writes Turkish businessmen demand the opening
of Armenian-Turkish border.
Zahir Kandashoglu, the Chairman of Chamber of Commerce and Industry of
Van declared the politics should not be an obstacle to the trade
communication. He said they have a project with an Armenian company to
organize Yerevan-Van direct flights. Kandashoglu ensured when the
border is opened Van would become tourist center.
It’s worth reminding Aram Ateshyan is currently serving a liturgy.
Turkish media writes about 3,55 Armenian pilgrims arrived in while
5000 were expected to. German Ambassador to Ankara is present at the
liturgy ceremony.
