Kocharyan: Armenia has no agricultural goods suitable for export to  Turkey or Azerbaijan

ArmInfo.  The economies of Armenia and Turkey are competitors, not complementary. Armenia doesn't have any agricultural goods suitable for export to Turkey or  Azerbaijan, as stated by Robert Kocharyan, the second president of  Armenia and leader of the opposition "Armenia," bloc, in the latest  episode of the "Big Politics" podcast.

The politician noted that Pashinyan enjoys the greatest support from  those living in villages, yet he is the one who could destroy their  homes.

"You can't export anything to either Turkey or Azerbaijan; it will be  exactly the opposite. In Turkey, their market is protected by  subsidies, and in Azerbaijan, energy resources are cheaper, making  their products more competitive. We are competitors in the Russian  market," he noted, adding that the Russian market has no limits for  Armenia. "These authorities could bring economic disaster upon  Armenia. They will destroy agriculture, and then say, 'We lost  agriculture, but gained independence,'" Kocharyan said.
