Chances of opening borders between Armenia and Turkey are very high
despite some hindrances, said head of the OSCE Yerevan office Sergey
Kapinos.
Armenia and Turkey do not maintain diplomat relations, while the
Armenian-Turkish border has been closed since 1993 by initiative of
official Ankara.
"There are some obstacles and problems, the process is inambiguous
but chances are high", said Kapinos Friday during a report at the
scientific and practical conference "World financial and economic
crisis: genesis and prospects".
At the same time he voiced hope that existing problems will be removed
and this will encourage the Armenian economy.
