Yerevan, April 30, Noyan Tapan. I have only positive expectations
from the possible opening of the Armenian-Turkish border. Open and
free markets are useful for either for Armenia, or for Turkey, told
the minister of economy of Armenia, Nerses Yeritsian told a press
conference on April 29. In N.Eritsian’s opinion, psychology of two
nations will be changed after opening the boarder, which will bring new
initiatives. "The most important thing is a considerable reduction of
transportation costs, since the direct way to the Mediterranean Sea
will cut expenses made by businessmen by 20-30 per cent," stressed
the minister, adding, that these are satisfactory arguments to be
optimistic in respect to opening of the Armenian-Turkish border.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
