The opening of the Armenian – Turkish boarder can be obliged by the
economic factors and the necessity of the growth of the economy,
said today Vardan Ayvazyan, the Standing Committee on Economic Issues
during the press conference touching upon the records signed between
Armenia and Turkey on August 31.
According to the speaker the Armenian-Turkish agreements made
beforehand have served a new stimulus for activating the production
sphere of Armenia as new perspectives can be noticed.
"The opening of the boarder can bring to an economical growth", –
said V. Ayvazyan, mentioning that processing of infrastructures will
give an opportunity to easy and activate the the product circulation
between Armenia and Turkey, making it unmediated.
The deputy agreed the provisions of those economists that say that
the opening of the boarders can give GDP 4% growth, 17.7% exportation
and 13% of importation increase.
V. Ayvazyan thinks that the opening of the boarders "is undoubtedly
good" for the Armenian businessmen. He mentioned that Armenia has
an active product circulation with Georgia and Iran, and it doesn’t
reflect over the Armenian producers.
"The Armenian producer has different tools, starting with the
financing, cheap credit resources, from the usage of the standards,
till 37 thousands of standards", – mentioned Ayvazyan adding that the
Turkish producer is forced to stand against the Indian and Chinese
products in its market.
"If we also add that Turkey is a country that tends to be a member
of the European Union and Armenia can actively cooperate with that
union having advantages with the exportation of our products, so we
have to use that policy, too against the Turkish side."
