    ARMENIAN-TURKISH BORDER OPENING WON'T AFFECT GEORGIA

    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.
