Turkey can be a connecting bridge between the East and the West, and it can be a crossroads for Armenia because it can connect Armenia to Europe. Fatma Aksal, a member of the Turkish parliament, told this to reporters Monday, on the margins of the 108th Rose-Roth Seminar of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, which is being held in Armenia’s capital Yerevan.

Armenia wants to join the European Union (EU). Turkey is not a member of the EU, but it is a crossroads between Armenia and Europe, and this can help a lot. In addition, Armenia can become a transit point in the energy sector, for example, for natural gas supplies, said the member of the Turkish parliament.
