YEREVAN
A prominent Armenian businessman said today Armenian-Turkish trade
will not get a boost unless businessmen on both sides of the border
get as full information about one another as possible.
Speaking at a news conference Arsen Ghazarian, chairman of the Union of
Armenian Industrialists and Businessmen, said Armenian businessmen have
little idea about what Turkish economy really is. He suggested that
they seek to establish joint ventures with peers across the border.
Arsen Ghazarian then said a major goal of the organization he chairs
is to conduct regular studies of the Turkish market to find out what
types of Armenia-made produces have a demand there.
The Union of Armenian Industrialists and Businessmen and three
non-governmental organizations-namely, the Eurasia-Cooperation
Fund, the Yerevan Pres Club and the International Center for Human
Development, signed April 26 a joint memorandum urging normalization
of Armenian-Turkish relations.
He said one of these organizations will conduct a thorough
investigation to find out the real amount of damages sustained by
Armenia as a result of the closed border.
According to Armenian National Statistical Committee, Armenian-Turkish
trade in 2010 January grew by 28.7% year-on-year to about $8 million.
Armenian exports totaled $7,800, the rest were imports of Turkish
goods.
