Margaryan: Armenia Ready to Establish Relations with Turkey without Preconditions

PanARMENIAN.Net - "We have many times stated that we are ready to establish relations with Turkey without any preconditions. By saying this I mean opening of the border and establishment of diplomatic and economic relations," Armenian Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan stated in an interview published on the website of the Republican Party headed by him. He voiced regret over the fact that Turkey sets an inadmissible condition for Armenia. In his opinion, the opening of the Armenian-Turkish border will offer the possibility to expand regional cooperation. "Relations with one more state will not do us any harm. I suppose our economy will not suffer from it, we just should prepare our economic policy in accord with the new demands," the RA PM said. At that he remarked the products and their volume to be imported are unclear yet. "Anyway the commodities that will be imported will not do harm to our economy," he noted.
