چکیده:
The Armenian-Turkish conflict except the disagreement between the two countries has also developed in the regional and international levels. It is becoming the conflict of interests and competition of superpowers in regional and international sphere، which has its great influence on the complication of the process of the conflict between the two countries. Taking into consideration the disagreement between the two countries، it seems that this conflict doesn’t have a political solution and any mechanism of the conflict resolution. Taking such situations as the experiment of the international conflict resolution into consideration shows that the conflict transformation will reflect the important results of each level for the two countries. In the study، we discussed the development of the economic relations as the strategy of conflict transformation between the two countries، the programs and events about the development of Armenian-Turkish economic relations in the period of post-Soviet Union، the activities of NGOs and economic Relations Commission.

363-378 Economic Factor for the “Transformation of Conflict” between Turkey and Armenia * Mohammad Malek Mohammadi Assistant Professor, Department of Armenian and German Language and Literature, Isfahan University Afsaneh Shirani PhD Student, Political Developments and Institutions, Institute of Law, Social and Political Sciences, National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia (Received: 2015/09/17 - Approved: 2015/12/06) Abstract The conflict between Turkey and Armenia goes beyond the disputed issues of the two countries; it is a conflict whose scope has expanded to regional and international levels and has had a significant impact on complicating the process of resolving the conflict between the two countries.
Considering the issues and topics of disagreement between the two countries, it seems that the conflict between Turkey and Armenia has no political solution and does not fall within the framework of any of the international conflict resolution mechanisms and crisis management approaches.
In May 1997, with the aim of expanding commercial and economic cooperation and helping to reopen the border between the two countries, the issue of establishing bilateral trade development commissions was discussed on the sidelines of the Economic Council meeting of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization in Istanbul; but the President of Turkey, on October 30, 1997, conditioned the expansion of economic cooperation with Armenia on resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the withdrawal of Armenian forces from Karabakh, and considered the issue of reopening the Turkish-Armenian border as a political issue, distinguishing it from “limited economic interests” that would be obtained through expanding economic relations with Armenia (Barseghyan, 1997: 2).
