Businessman Vahagn Hovnanyan told at news conference that he did have
some concerns about the ongoing political development before.

"I didn’t think we were ready to open a border. I thought Turkey was
more ready, especially, economically. I’ve said that a big flood,
a Turkish flood is going to happen," he said.

But currently, the businessman says he thinks life is a line of
challenges and we should meet them.

"Even if not today, one day the borders will be opened. I think,
now it is the most suitable time," V. Hovnanyan said. It’s 20 years
we are living in this prison, businessman stated.

Regarding the President’s pan-Armenian tour, V. Hovnanyan said that
the Diaspora would have negative echoes.

"I think it’s the right of free speech. Two Armenias are formed –
local one and Armenia of Diaspora. Hence, the opinions should differ
either," he said adding that President’s initiative is a brave one.
