Turkish Products Suck

[bell-the-cat]

I am sorry but you are wrong. In fact, you are so wrong that you prompted me to create a new account just so I can tell you you're wrong.

Turkey still has a blockade on Armenia. Why should we encourage the economy of the country who is ruining ours?

And, when the blockade is ended, you can open another account to say how the Armenian economy is being ruined by Turkish imports.

the turks alone arnt killing the armenian economy. its a snow ball effect. thats only one element. but according to u the fact that armenia is landlocked has nothing to do with it.

when history shows that land locked countrys always strugle a bit more then other countrys.

If you truly are Steven Sim, I must say that hearing you in person is a lot more pleasant than reading your posts.

I did not give my opinion about the possibility of opening borders. There has been no serious study to evaulate its consequences as of yet.

However, the fact remains that THEY aer the ones qho decide to keep it closed, and THEY therefore do not deserve my money.

I completly agree with the above. About armenian products: when I saw the armo juces "nojan" and after that found some preserves and pickles i was so happy for our economy (i mean armenian). it actually means that at least its not callapsing any more, and maybe one day life in my beloved armenia will improve.(dont think its the nearest future though)

If the subject is so important to you that you opened an account here just to talk about it, then maybe you should have given your opinion about the opening of the border and what that could lead to. So, as soon as the border is open, it will be morally OK to purchase Turkish goods? There seem to be plenty of Armenians voicing the opinion that opening the border would be a bad thing - they are probably those who have a vested interest in maintaining a monopoly supply of expensive and badly made goods to Armenia.

And the border will open eventually - so having Armenians examining and trying out the potentual competition might be a wise thing to do (and the only way to do that is to buy Turkish goods).

Nations don't make products; businessmen do. If they do it well, they deserve their consumers' money. That said, the only 'products' I buy are food and books. Both are produced domestically.

I would appreciate that too. Nothing ever happens here for Genocide.

Magdalinka, since you live in NYC, it should be easy. http://www.asainc.org/newyork/ try here. I always get invitations for events in NYC from the ASA. Im a member of the National, since there is no local branch in my area.
