    The report issued by the UN today suggests Turkey to endorse the
    tourism of Armenians to raise the quality of life of settlers of
    eastern regions.
    `Investments should be made in tourism in order to attract visitors
    from Iran, Georgia and Armenia,' the reports says, `Reuters' reports.
    The authors of the report call on Turkish authorities to pay monthly
    cash benefits to about 5 million poor residents of eastern regions.
    `About 60% of the population of the regions lives beyond the poverty
    line. Besides, poverty is continuous, since it passes from generation
    to generation,' the report says.
    Some Turkish officials have declared many times that opening of the
    Armenian-Turkish border will promote the development of tourism in
    the eastern regions of Turkey.
