YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 3, ARMENPRESS: State Revenue Committee is getting
prepared for the possible opening of the Armenian-Turkish border,
deputy head of the Armenian government-affiliated State Revenue
Committee Armen Alaverdyan said today at a press conference.

In economic respect Turkey may become such partner for Armenia like
Georgia is, and similar taxing regimes must be established for that
country as well.

Armenia is member of the World Trade Organization which obliges
to apply same regime of taxation toward all the countries. Though
there are things to do in respect of administration, means must be
undertaken in case of the opening of the border to implement the
customs procedures in right way. The customs points will be two –
in Akhurik and Margara.

A. Alaverdyan does not share the concerns that in case of the opening
of the border the Armenian market will be washed by Turkish products.
