Opening of border with Turkey to urge on Armenian economy

PanARMENIAN.Net - Two neighbor countries can't be on loggerheads, an Armenian official said.



"Opening of the border with Turkey will offer good economic benefits. Internal market competition will increase, what is a favorable factor for our consumers," Gagik Minasyan, chairman of the RA parliamentary committee on financial, budgetary and economic affairs, told PanARMENIAN.Net



"I know that many are too skeptic about the issue. But remember how we opened the border with Iran some 15 years ago," he said.



"It will take time to settle all issues if the border with Turkey is opened. But it will offer a large number of opportunities," Minasyan said.
