Armenian Problem


Middle East Map

The 325-kilometer-long Turkish-Armenian border is closed in April 1993 in response to Armenia's ambivalence over the recognition of its common border with Turkey and Armenian aggression directed toward Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute.

This situation is harming the economies of both countries; Turkey and Armenia. The trade to Armenia from Turkey is made by using border of Iran. In addition, the oil pipeline between Azerbaidjan (Baku-Ceyhan) passing trough Georgia instead of Armenia which was a shortcut.

I think unless Armenia continues to his statu quo politics; there will be no solution for this case. (Armenia wants to change the borders and wants compensation because of the things happened in 1st world war)

I will write a more detailled article about this problem...
