The opening of the Kars-Gyumri railway branch would create economic interdependence between Armenia and Turkey, Secretary of Armenia's Security Council Armen Grigoryan said in an interview with Armenia's Public Television.

"There are opportunities now in the region in a broad context. For example, the opening of the Kars-Gyumri railway branch would create great opportunities for Armenia and Turkey and would create also economic interdependence, which is an important factor of stability and security,"  ARKA cited him as saying.

Grigoryan expressed readiness to visit Ankara and Baku, if necessary, and to host representatives of Turkey and Azerbaijan in Armenia to discuss regional problems.
