Speaker of Parliament Alen Simonyan doesn’t rule out that Armenia’s relations with Turkey will have a positive movement soon.
Speaking about the Crossroads of Peace project, Simonyan said it is aimed at peace and that the topic of “corridor” is no longer relevant, and that conversations about peace have intensified not only by Armenia but also by the leaders of neighboring countries.
“No one is surrendering anything. There will be open roads, there will be trade, Armenia’s economy will develop, and we will finally have peace. Drawing conclusions from the prime minister’s speech, as well as the latest information, I don’t rule out that our relations and the border [opening] with Turkey will very likely have some positive movement soon,” Simonyan told reporters.
"Armenia cannot exclude itself from the economic and trade relations of the region. We must do everything to open all the roads with Azerbaijan and Turkey, and I promise you that in that case, if we have 11, 12, 14 percent, Armenia's economy will grow twice, three times, and our citizens will see it. Not to mention that we will finally have peace, we will have a peaceful country," Simonyan added.
