/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In case of opening border with Turkey, Armenia
can become Turkey's competitor in sphere of developing tourism on
its historical lands, i.e. in Lake Van region, said Arsen Kazaryan,
Head of the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs.
Armenian entrepreneur finds that within several years, our tourism
and construction specialists will create very good Armenian tourism
centers there. "I hope in the near future we'll be able to light
candle on Akhtamar island and enjoy the water of lake Van," he said.
Kazaryan also noted that border opening will contribute to the
development of agriculture, energy and textile industry. In that
connection, he informed participants that negotiations are currently
held with Turkish companies for acquiring raw materials in sphere of
knitted fabric production. Such enterprise with Turkish capital already
operates in Spitak. "Our cement plants will be able to increase their
production capacities and meet the demands of Turkish industry,"
he added. There is also potential for cooperation in spheres of
healthcare, science and information technologies. Frontier trade in
Gyumri-Armavir and Kars-Igdir directions will also receive positive
impulse, leading to new job openings.
