According to him, Armenian economy will see many benefits from open borders. "Transportation through Turkey will be faster and less expensive, than through Georgia, which is very important, considering current politic situation in Georgia," the expert noted.







He also noted that border opening would be a welcome step toward NKR conflict settlement.
