/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Resolution of regional problems depends on the
development of economic ties, Turkish expert Burcu Gültekin stated in
Yerevan. In her words, Turkey possesses experience in establishing
such ties between the conflicting sides. `We have formed Ankara
Economic Forum jointly with Turkey, Israel and Palestine. This was a
success not only in Israel but also in Gaza Strip. A similar project
may be launched in the South Caucasus as well. The most important
thing is to start with small moves. We cannot wait until peace is
established, but we can hasten it by carrying out business projects,’
she remarked.
The Turkish expert said though the Near East and South Caucasus are
different regions, this example can be tested. `We are thinking how to
apply our experience in Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan,’ Burcu
Gültekin said.
