/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The closed borders between Armenia and Turkey in
such an important region as the South Caucasus, is a problem for the
whole world community, in his message says Egor Gaidar, the director
of the Institute of Transitional Period to the participants of
`Economic and Social aftermath of opening the Armenian-Turkish border’
conference, which is being held in Yerevan.

In particular, the message says, `There are a lot of cases in the
history, when heavy heritage of the past does not allow to make
pragmatic and useful decisions for nations. Appeals to old and
sometimes serious offences between nations are one of easy ways to
mobilize political support, for which, unfortunately, we have to pay a
very high price.

In Egor Gaidar’s opinion, responsibilities of political leaders, who
have come across serious political challenges, is to offer and fulfill
decisions, which will improve lives of people. `The opening of the
Armenian-Turkish border is a example of such decision.’ underscores
Egor Gaidar in his message.
