Similar statement was made by Turkish-Armenian Business Development
Council co-chairman Kaan Soyak.
He mentioned that Turkey was interested in Armenia as well as a link
with Russia.
According to him, as a transit country Armenia will benefit as well,
as it will get huge sums from the duties.
According to Soyak, the present trade turnover between Armenia and
Turkey is about $ 150 mln almost totally provided by the imports
from Turkey.
He assured that after the opening of the borders the volumes of the
trade turnover would essentially increase.
"In spite of the efforts invested, the Council cannot operate
efficiently as the political issues hinder it", Soyak said, according
to "Armenpress".
