Normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations depends entirely on
Turkey, Armenian presidential aide Seyran Avagyan told today's
seminar in Yerevan entitled "The economic efficiency of opening the
Armenian-Turkish border and possible developments" organized by the
Centre for Public Dialogue and Development.
Avagyan said that the markets of the two countries are well aware
of businesses, commodities and potential of manufacturers of one
another. "The opening of the borders will be an economically and
mutually beneficial step, and both countries know this well," the
presidential aide said. However, he said that Turkey's political
principles are creating problems for improving Armenian-Turkish
relations.
"We are witnesses to blockade imposed by this country whose strategy
is to degrade Armenia financially," Avagyan said.
