"Borders with Armenia will not open until Yerevan settles its problems
with Ankara and its regional ally Azerbaijan".
The due announcement was made by Turkey's State Minister of Economy
Mehmet Shimshek.
According to Turkish Zaman newspaper, the state economic minister,
taking part in the session on regional development in eastern province
of Ighdir, located near the border with Armenia, announced that Turkey,
which has a wide purchasing capacity in the amount of $950 bln,
does not need economic ties with Armenia.
The State Minister noted that this is Armenia that should undertake
measures to normalize ties with Turjey.
"We do not need them, they need us. Turkey wants good economic ties
with its neighbors. If Armenians recognize this fact and make a step
towards us, we will make a step towards them", said Shimshek.
The state minister added that borders with Armenia will not open
until Yerevan settles its problems with Ankara and its regional
ally Azerbaijan.
