/PanARMENIAN.Net/ " The economy of Armenia can extensively suffer
from the opening of the Armenian-Turkish border, since it is very
vulnerable: there is a negative trade balance, and Turkey cannot be a
reliable partner, it repeatedly carried out anti-Armenian campaigns,"
MP of the Heritage parliamentary group Vardan Khachatryan told a joint
press conference in Yerevan today, which was organized with the deputy
of RPA's (Republican Party of Armenia) faction Gagik Minasyan.
According to Mr. Khachatryan, with open Armenia-Turkey borders
Armenia's economy could suffer at any time, if Turkey suddenly
would close the border. Vardan Khachatryan also proposed to initiate
legislative reforms aimed at eliminating de facto monopoly in the
country. According to him, these legislative changes are necessary to
prevent the Armenian monopolists to turn into " comprador bourgeoisie,
implementing the order of other states in Armenia after the opening
of the borders".
"We believe that only after serious anti-corruption programs we can
open the borders with Turkey," Vardan Khachatryan said.
In turn, Gagik Minasyan agreed that after the opening of the border
Armenia will face new challenges. He informed, that the government
has already initiated necessary research, legislative changes are
elaborated and scenarios are drawn to meet the challenges.
