Turkish businesswomen demand to open border with Armenia
Turkey’s Southeastern Businesswomen Association (DOGÜNKAD) is in favor of opening the Turkish-Armenian border, Internet Haber reports.
According to Nevin İl, chairwoman of the Association, the opening of the border with Armenia by the Turkish authorities would increase the volume of exports by 50 percent.
“With the Armenian-Turkish border being closed, we have to transport goods to Armenia via Georgia. It takes 35 hours to travel to Armenia by bus, while it would take six hours to get there by car. It is necessary to open the border. It is very important for boosting trade,” she said.
