`We don’t think that opening of the border means rejection of Genocide
or rejection of territorial ownership, though some points are still
under threat,’ expert Edward Helhenyan of the `Mitq’ (conception)
analytical center told at news conference.

The most dangerous thing is the economic matter after the border is
opened, expert said. According to him 160 times less product are
exported from Armenia but more imported, and when the border is opened
the figure will be grow by two or even three times.

`Currently $178mln products are imported into Armenia and exported
only 1.7mln. In this case Armenian market will not be able to resist
the Turkish economy,’ the expert said.
