Armenian-Turkish economic forum may be held soon: Arsen Ghazarian
ARKA, 22.02.2010


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.
