/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey will be Armenia’s trade partner like other
countries of the region, deputy head of State Income Committee Armen
Alaverdyan said.

"So long as both Armenia and Turkey are WTO members, Armenia can’t
set any different customs of tax rules on Turkey. As to customs
administration, we should carry out a great deal of work before
opening checkpoints," he told a news conference on November 3.

Commenting on fears that Turkish goods will flood Armenian market,
Alaverdyan said the local market will admit as many goods as it can.

"If goods are too many prices will fall, as result," he said.

Alaverdyan also informed that the budget was replenished with AMD
427,9 billion. "Returns decreased by 16% due to the economic crisis,"
he said.
