The Armenian government has to hold a serious and wide struggle against
corruption before opening the Armenian and Turkish border, said the
parliamentary member from the Heritage faction Vardan Khachatryan on
September 3. He states the border opening contains serious challenges
because we open the borer with a country which is economically several
times more powerful than we and the greater part of the population
of which thinks that Armenia is their number one enemy.
Vardan Khachatryan notes that a survey in Turkey proves that according
to the greater part of the Turkish population the number one enemy of
that country is Armenia. Under these conditions, Vardan Khachatryan
thinks that a serious study and readiness should be procured before
opening the border as well as a serious anti-corruption struggle
should be held in Armenia.
