    ARMENIAN-TURKISH TRADE TURNOVER TOTALS $120 MLN: 525TH NEWSPAPER


    YEREVAN, JANUARY 15. ARMINFO. The Turkish-Armenian trade turnover has
    reached $120 mln against earlier reported $30-40 mln and will amount
    to $500 mln if the present trade restrictions are lifted, reports the
    525th newspaper (Baku) in its article "What is Going On On the
    Turkish-Armenian Border?"

    More prospective projects have been drafted for developing Turkey's
    economic relations with Armenia than the present exports of food and
    garment exports to and the imports of copper goods from that country.

    The newspaper quotes the member of the Turkish-Armenian business
    council Noyan Soyak as saying that Turkish businessmen are eager to
    carry out prospective projects in Armenia's construction, trade and
    textile. "We are trying to separate politics from economy to
    facilitate the settlement of political problems. For example Turkey
    is discussing its political problems with Greece and Syria in no touch
    with economic ties and so may establish diplomatic relations with
    Armenia too on the same conditions," says Soyak noting that his
    business council has established very good contacts between the
    Turkish and Armenian governments and its efforts are actively
    supported from both sides.

    "We could not move forward without the Turkish government's support.
    They know everything about out projects to enlarge interuniversity,
    cultural and public ties with Armenia and the meetings we are
    organizing between Armenian and Turkish journalists, cultural workers
    and businessmen," says Soyak. "Our goal is to create prerequisites for
    political-diplomatic meetings," he says.

    Saoyak notes that the government change in Georgia has substantially
    encouraged the officially "illegal" Turkish-Armenian ties due to
    reduced bribery and robbery on the Georgian border. He says that the
    Turkish imports into Armenia is usually registered as the products of
    trilateral partner-firms from Iran and Georgia.
