Businesses and people in the Black Sea region will only stand to
benefit if Ankara and Yerevan agree to re-open their long-closed
border, Black Sea Trade and Development Bank (BSTDB) General Manager
Andrey Kondakov said in an interview with Today's Zaman.
Kondakov was recently in Istanbul to participate in the Southeast
Europe Business Forum. The Thessaloniki-based bank was established in
1997 to promote economic development and regional cooperation among
Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) members.
"As a development bank we promote regional cooperation and
trade. ... We will welcome any initiative leading to increased business
interaction among members and among businesses and peoples in the
Black Sea region, and the reopening of the border with Yerevan is
definitely one such move," he explained.
Kondakov stressed more open borders will help to develop regional
infrastructure, which brings more business opportunities and supports
growth and prosperity in the BSEC member countries.
