RA National Security Service (NSS) is ready for Armenia-Turkey border
opening. The Service will continue daily proceedings with the border
opening, NSS Deputy Director Felix Tsolakyan told NEWS.am.

"There will be no serious processes after the border opening, as it
does not mean people will cross it back and forth. The customs and
frontier control points will be set up with Turkey as well as other
states," said Tsolakyan.

RA Government introduced to the Parliament 2010 budget draft bill,
offering to reduce NSS budget by 15%. However, according to Tsolakyan,
that is sufficient for the implementation of service objectives and
after border opening the amount might increase.
