“After the war, when Pashinyan started talking about the era of peace, we said that he was going to start flirting with Turkey. Turkey’s preconditions are well-known: acceptance of territorial integrity of Turkey and Azerbaijan, suspension of activities aimed at recognizing the genocide. Now they have increased the provision of a land route between Turkey and the Turkish world. From the state’s point of view, no positive impact is expected from the road,” said Artur Khachatryan, deputy of the Armenia faction of the National Assembly, at the meeting with journalists.
The deputy emphasized that there will be individual businessmen and economic operators who will benefit from this program, but it is not realistic to expect a positive impact on the economy of Armenia. Moreover, they did not even calculate the risks, but they are obvious.
“When we ask the authorities whether they have made any economic assessment, they do not answer. They did not calculate not only the road, but also the Armenian-Turkish trade and economic relations. If Turkish companies invade Armenia, at least local producers in the fields of textiles, primary agriculture, agricultural products processing will face a terrible difficult situation,” Khachatryan noted.
