Turkey's chamber of commerce is not interested in opening the Armenian-Turkey border, told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter representative of Turkey's chamber of commerce Selcuk Yilmaz at the 15th meeting of the General Assembly of the Union of International Fright Forwarders Association of BSEC member countries in Yerevan. At the same time, Armenia will gain most after opening the boarder, he stated.
According to Turkey's chamber of commerce representative, it is difficult to speak about consequences of opening the Armenian-Turkish border so far, since that issue is of political or social nature. "In respect to economy, there are no precise data about increase in turnover or other indicators, since it requires time and detailed examination of the structure of the trade,"
he added.
"For both countries opening of the border will secure peace at first," told the Selcuk Yilmaz. According to him, opening of the Armenian-Turkish border is a constituent of international law, therefore Turkey must be obedient to its norms.
