Opening of Turkey-Armenia border was initiated by Armenia which was a mistake: Armenian politician

He said as Turkey unilaterally closed the border, international community had to demand Turkey to open the border with Armenia.

“Armenia-Turkey rapprochement should have been a result of Turkey’s revised policy towards Armenia, and not another issue on Turkey external policy agenda," Safaryan emphasized.

When asked about possible economic consequences of Armenia-Turkey border opening, the MP responded that negative consequences can't be excluded, as Armenia-manufactured products won't withstand competition against Turkey's production.

"Armenia is trying to establish normal relations with Turkey, while being not prepared to counter negative consequences opening of borders could entail."
