Some media outlets in Turkey have released information that 80%
of consumer goods as well as much of food products in Armenia are
produced in Turkey. Therefore the conclusion is that Turkey’s embargo
in Armenia does not really work. The import of Turkish product
to Armenia is mainly achieved via Georgia. Moreover, more than 70
000 Armenian citizens illegally work in Turkey. There are airlines
conducting flights three times a week between the countries, so the
embargo is just symbolic.
