Normalization of Armenian-Turkish ties is required to stabilize
the region, director of School of Caucasus Studies Director at
Ilia Chavchavadze State University, professor Ghia Nodia, told
PanARMENIAN.Net.
He is confident that, first of all, both parties will benefit from
opening of the border.
"In respect of Georgia's concerns on possible decrease of cargo
transportation via its territory, I think that the issue will be
settled with the lapse of time," prof. Nodia said.
Foreign Ministries of Armenia, Turkey and Switzerland signed an
agreement on continuation of talks and normalization of ties, which
would lead to opening of the Armenian-Turkish border.
Ankara closed the border with Armenia in 1993 as a token of solidarity
with Azerbaijan during the Nagorno Karabakh war.
