Over the 4th joint business-conference, that kicked off on 5 October
in Yerevan, Armenian and Turkish businessmen will discuss the issue of
establishment of air communication between Yerevan and Van, chairman
of Organization of Young Businessmen of Van, Kadri Salas, told
journalists in Yerevan today.
"The programme of opening direct Van-Yerevan flights and back is still
frozen because of the political reason", - he said. For his part, a
representative of the Kurdish tourist organization "Ayalis" from Van,
Sayid Binet, added he was displeased with the fact that the
participants in the conference were forced to fly for 5 hours through
Istanbul to Armenia, whereas only an hour is needed for Van-Yerevan
direct flight. He hopes that participants in the business conference
will manage to find the compromising solutions which will serve like a
pushing point for opening of the Turkish-Armenian state border.
The 4th Armenian-Turkish two-day business conference kicked off in
Yerevan on October 5. The event organizer is the UIEA with the support
of USAID, Eurasian Partnership Foundation, and International Center
for Human Development. The Black Sea Trust for Regional Cooperation
(BST), Marshal Foundation, is co-financing the event. Over 50 Turkish
businessmen from Eastern regions of Turkey are invited to the
conference.
