/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia builds its policy considering the
Armenian-Turkish border which must be open, Prime Minister Tigran
Sargsyan said today during Parliament’s Q&A session, answering Heritage
leader Raffi Hovhannisyan’s question on whether Government’s position
had legal bases.

RA de facto and de jure recognizes the borders inherited from Soviet
Armenia, its legal predecessor, Premier stressed.

At that he noted that considering political pragmatism, it was
unrealistic to call into question current borders with Turkey. "Such
debates will certainly continue, but we choose the reality we have
inherited," Mr. Sargsyan said, summing up his speech.
