Armenian-Turkish border opening will be followed by opening of border with Azerbaijan
Opening of Armenia -Turkey border will introduce drastic changes in the region, Haykazun Alvrtsyan, Director of the Western Armenians' Studies Center told a news conference in Yerevan.
"After successful RA-Turkey rapprochement process and border opening, opening of Armenia-Azerbaijan border will become the next western initiative, promoting implementation of western communication projects in the region. Otherwise, opening of border with Turkey would be pointless," Haykazun Alvrtsyan said.
According to him, future of Armenia and NKR should not be risked for communication advantages' sake. "I hope our government realizes the threats of current process with Turkey and will be capable of resisting it," Haykazun Alvrtsyan noted, adding that the status quo will be reestablished unless Armenian -Turkish border is opened.
