YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 20, ARMENPRESS: Armenia can export more than a dozen
products to the Turkish market in case of provision of appropriate
conditions. As the Head of the Manufacturers and Businessmen
(employers) Union Arsen Ghazaryan mentioned in the meeting with the
journalists on November 20, although the obviously hostile disposition
of the Turkish Government towards Armenia and the freezenment of the
protocols because of the fault of the Turkish side the Armenian-Turkish
business relationships keep developing. The businessman said that the
opening of the borders has regional importance, which can be used by
all the neighboring countries. In a conversation with “Armenpress”
Ghazaryan said: “The chemical products like aluminium foil produced in
“Nairit”, building materials, recycled stone, fruits and vegetables
and cognac can be exported from Armenia into Turkey.

By 2011 the measure of Turkish products and services amounted USD 243
million. The head of the Union said, that due to security concerns
Armenia does not import food and medicine from Turkey.

The businessmen from eastern province of Turkey or territory of
historical Armenia are more interested in establishing friendly
relations with Armenia, as in the case of closed borders the social
inequality deepens. Ghazaryan emhasized: “Turkish-Armenian aviation
authorities are egar to organize Van-Yerevan-Van direct flight,
but it is still not clear the route profitability is not certain yet.”
