SOME TURKISH BUSINESSMEN ADVOCATE OPENING BORDER WITH ARMENIA TO
DESTROY IT ECONOMICALLY: AZERI MP
YEREVAN, MARCH 2. ARMINFO. The Turkish Parliament is not yet ready to
make a decision on the Hocali events because of some difficulties,
says Azeri MP Nizami Jafarov who was present at the Turkish
Parliament's recent hearing of the issue.
He says that the Turkish MPs did not plan to adopt such a
decision. They simply paid tribute to this tragedy by showing to the
world that this was a well planned act of genocide by Armenians
against Azeris and Turks.
Jafarov says that Turkey has certain commitments to the EU and is
facing many international problems. That's probably why they have
decided not to pass a decision on the Hocali issue for the time being.
The Turkish MPs say that they can recognize Hocali in several
stages. So the past hearing was just a preparation. Turkey wants first
to see the reaction of its own and international public.
There is one more problem - demands for opening border with
Armenia. Some businessmen in Kars say that they want to sell Armenia
their goods.
Armenians too are frequent guests in Kars and keep meeting there with
those who support border opening. Jafarov says that he has spoken on
Turkish air and said that Armenia has no buying capacities and no
favorable climate for industry development.
Jafarov says that there are some Turkish MPs and businessmen who
support border opening but some of them have "good intentions" - they
consider that Armenia is too small a country and Turkey will be able
to smash it by its economic strength. But there are also people who
seek profit and Armenia is a market that can give them one.
Jafarov says that one should constantly remind Turkish MPs that the
decisions to recognize the Armenian Genocide passed by different
foreign parliaments are aimed first of all against Turkey and not
against Azerbaijan.
