ARMENIAN-TURKISH ECONOMIC FORUM MAY BE HELD SOON: ARSEN GHAZARIAN

ARKA
Feb 22, 2010

YEREVAN, February 22, /ARKA/. An Armenian-Turkish economic forum
will be held in several months, either in Istanbul or Yerevan, Arsen
Ghazarian, chairman of the Union of Armenian Industrialists and
Entrepreneurs, told Saturday in Tsakhkadzor, a resort Armenian town
that hosted the 7-th international business forum called Bridge-2010.

He said shifting Turkish economic activity at Armenian market to legal
field is a necessary precondition for holding the forum. Particularly,
when Turkish goods are imported to Armenia, the later, not third
countries, must be mentioned as the destination country.

He said a Turkish delegation was invited to take part in the
Bridge-2010 forum, but it cancelled the trip to Armenia by unknown
reasons.

Asked to comment on the dwindling number of participants of the
forum, Arsen Ghazarian said instead their geography has expanded,
particularly, delegations from Egypt and Georgia arrived in Armenia.
