Armenia de-facto and de-jure recognizes Turkey's current borders
Armenia builds its policy considering the Armenian-Turkish border which must be open, Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said today during Parliament's Q&A session, answering Heritage leader Raffi Hovhannisyan's question on whether Government's position had legal bases.

RA de facto and de jure recognizes the borders inherited from Soviet Armenia, its legal predecessor, Premier stressed.

At that he noted that considering political pragmatism, it was unrealistic to call into question current borders with Turkey. "Such debates will certainly continue, but we choose the reality we have inherited," Mr. Sargsyan said, summing up his speech.
