TURKISH DIPLOMAT MADE PUBLIC REPORT ON VISIT TO ARMENIA
Member of the Justice and Development Party headed by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan Turhan Comez has made public the report on his two-day visit to Armenia. As reported by NTV Turkish channel, the report notes that a working group including MPs of Armenia and Turkey needs to be formed to settle bilateral issues. Simultaneously Ankara has to support development of commercial relations with Yerevan, specifically shuttle business. The document indicates that Armenian Diaspora representatives send $1 billion to Armenia annually. In the opinion of the Turkish MP, the Soros Foundation and the US Government influence grow in Armenia today and this is first of all due to the preparation of deployment of American military bases in the South Caucasus region.
