/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Two neighbor countries can’t be on loggerheads,
an Armenian official said.

"Opening of the border with Turkey will offer good economic
benefits. Internal market competition will increase, what is
a favorable factor for our consumers," Gagik Minasyan, chairman of
the RA parliamentary committee on financial, budgetary and economic
affairs, told PanARMENIAN.Net.

"I know that many are too skeptic about the issue. But remember how
we opened the border with Iran some 15 years ago," he said.

"It will take time to settle all issues if the border with Turkey
is opened. But it will offer a large number of opportunities,"
Minasyan said.
