"Why should we change our position while Armenia have not pulled out
its troops from the Azerbaijani territories and give up it claims
against Turkey?" Rifat Hisarchigoglu, president of Chambers and
Exchanges Union of Turkey told.
Half a year ago he said the Union Turkish member companies would not
establish trade relations with Armenia, APA reports.
"Why change our position? Did Armenia give up its groundless
territorial claims against Turkey? Since Armenia has not made any
changes to its stances regarding such urgent problems, why should
we change ours? First of all, they should unconditionally pull
out their troops from the occupied Azerbaijani regions in order to
provide internally displaced persons return their native lands,"
Mr.Hisarchigoglu said.
The Chambers and Exchanges Union of Turkey is the biggest NGO in the
country, which unites 1 million companies. It has a strong influence
on the government's domestic and foreign policy and remarked for its
active lobbying efforts for Turkey's EU membership.
