Turkish State Minister: "Turkey will agree to establish trade relations with Armenia after the resolution of the Karabakh conflict"

Turkey is ready to establish trade and economic relations with Armenia only after the resolution of the Karabakh problem", said Turkish state minister Kurshad Tuzmen, while speaking at the Azerbaijani-Turkish business forum in Baku.

"Azerbaijan and Turkey locate in the strategic point of the world. Many people are interested in here. We are told to open borders with Armenia and establish trade with them. We are against it. It would be profitable for Turkey and the whole region. Yet, the issue must first be considered by historians. And it is necessary to hold our next meeting under the flags with crescent in Karabakh", said the Turkish Minister.

He noted that Turkey is one of the countries, interested in the expansion of trade and economic cooperation with neighbor states.
