Despite all the difficulties available the Turkish-Armenian trade relations are developing well. Armenian and Turkish businessmen cooperate at the Russian and Asian markets, Turkish-Armenian Business Development Council head Kaan Soyak stated, APA Azeri news agency reported. In his words, close ties have been established between the Armenian Diaspora and Turkish business circles recently and many representatives of the Armenian Diaspora wish to cooperate with Turkish entrepreneurs. When commenting on the possible change of public opinion in Turkey Kaan Soyak noted, "The Turkish society came to know Armenia and its people in a new way. They learned that Armenians want to leave in peace with Turkey." In his words, "Turks became more objective in treating the problems available between Armenia and Azerbaijan and the erroneous policy of both states is analyzed by the Turkish press." "It is accepted that Russia's pro-Armenian line was of no benefit, he said. The Turkish people are for fair settlement of the conflict. The economic hardship Anatolia faces at present is caused by the blockade of the Armenian border. Azerbaijan's responsibility for it is equal to that Armenia bears," Kaan Soyak stressed.
