/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia’s prime minister Tigran Sargsyan made a
speech in support to opening of the Armenian-Turkish border. Delivering
a lecture "Crisis as an opportunity" to young professionals in
Yerevan, he particularly mentioned, that Armenia currently is too
dependent on Georgia. "2/3 of our foreign turnover is carried out via
Georgia, transit rates are too high and we can settle that question
at all. Cargo delivery from any country to Poti or Batumi is twice
chipper than the delivery from those ports to Armenia. High cost of
transportation negatively impacts Armenian business. In this regard
opening of the Armenian-Turkish border can positively affect our
economy. Though, we do not expect wonders, but the level of economic
safety of Armenia will rise," Tigran Sargsyan said.
