Armenia interested in Turkey’s admission to EU – PM

YEREVAN Oct 16

Armenia will benefit from Turkey’s possible admission to the European
Union, Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisyan said in an interview
with some of the country’s television stations on Friday.

"We are interested in their success in fulfilling all of their
obligations [on EU entry] because, in this case, we will have
relations with the EU," Sarkisyan said.

Measures to open the Armenian-Turkish border will benefit both
countries, Armenia’s prime minister said.

"In the contemporary world, closed borders hamper natural economic
processes. Both Armenia and Turkey perfectly realize that," he added.
