Vice-President of the Lincy Foundation Harut Sassounian refuted information available on the German Dwworld website, that Kirk Kerkorian intends to make investments in various Turkish regions after Armenian-Turkish border opening. In his letter to NEWS.am Harut Sassounian called this “misinformation and phony.” “Mr. Kerkorian has never had or has such intensions,” Sassounian underlined.

The Co-Chair of Armenia-Turkey Friendship Group Yener Altin told Dwworld that Kerkorian intended to make investments in various Turkish regions, particularly create the hotel chain in South-East of Turkey. Altin also informed that Kerkorian is originally the citizen of Turkish Maras region. However, the Lincy Foundation Vice-President refuted this information as well.
