OPENING OF ARMENIAN-TURKISH BORDER IS ADVANTAGEOUS FIRST OF
ALL TO TURKEY: VAHAN HOVHANNISSYAN

YEREVAN, JULY 26. ARMINFO. “Turkey should be forced sooner or later
to open its border with Armenia, and the renewal of overland
communication will bring much more advantages to Turkish side than to
Armenian”, stated Vice-Speaker of Armenia’s National Assembly Vahan
Hovhannissyan answering the questions of the 3rd All-Armenian Youth
Forum participants, July 26.

He stressed that preconditions put forward by Turkey for country’s
release are “disastrous for Armenia, and Turkish side will not be
able to force Armenia’s leadership to adopt them”. Hovhannissyan
expressed confidence that Armenian government may only expect steps
from official Ankara – the initiator of border’s closing.
