YEREVAN, OCTOBER 9, NOYAN TAPAN. In case of opening the
Armenian-Turkish border, the trade will enable to lower production
prices in Armenia.
However, as former Prime Minister of Armenia Hrant Bagratian said at
the October 9 press conference, "there is going to be an interesting
phenomenon which may make a mess of everything".
In his words, Armenia's concentrated oligarchic economy will collide
with Turkish noncentralized, nonoligarchic, and dynamic private
sector. "We lack private entrepreneurs on a par with Turkish ones. At
first the Turkish capital will collide with Armenian oligarchs. But
the Turks are not so foolish to come here to develop Armenian private
entrepreneurs. Sooner or later the Turks will start operating through
these oligarchs, realizing that the greater the oligarchs' power is,
the less developed Armenia will be," H. Bagratian said.
In his words, the average Turkish entrepreneur is much more dynamic,
competent and developed than the Armenian one. For that reason
we should get ready for economic relations. "It is for the first
time that we will rub shoulders with the Turks in the history of
millennial communication, while the Turks are more developed than we
are - in all respects," H. Bagratian noted.
