Armenian security head says improved ties with Turkey to benefit economy
[Presenter over video of the interview] National Security Council
Secretary Artur Baghdasaryan spoke about national security challenges
and way to overcome them with my new colleague today. Baghdasaryan was
the host today of "Haylur Hartsazruyts" [interview programme] and
spoke about the Karabakh issue, prospects of Armenian-Turkish
relations, priorities of Armenia's presidency in the Collective
Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and the council's plans for 2009.
[Baghdasaryan, speaking to a journalist] At present, Armenian-Turkish
relations are at a partnership stage, at a stage of dialogue and I
believe this is extremely important in the political sense. The
normalization of relations with Turkey means an additional incentive
for the economic development of our country and for the development of
numerous small and medium-sized businesses. Finally, this means
boosting of economy; this means getting rid of the image of eternal
enemy.
