When the negotiations will be at the phase of talking about the opening of the borders, those analyzes will definitely be made, the relevant bodies may have those analyzes of what the opening of the border will give. State Revenue Committee chairman Rustam Badasyan stated this at a briefing with reporters in the National Assembly of Armenia Wednesday—and reflecting on the prospects for the reopening of the country’s border with Turkey.

"We can speak with axiomatic truths. Naturally, the border being open is better than being closed; that is indisputable. Economic activity, the trading of goods that happens in the case of open borders can never be expected in the case of a closed border," Badasyan said.

But to the remark that Turkish goods will take over the Armenian market, especially the Armenian agriculture will suffer if the border reopens, the Armenian official responded: "If we see it as a risk, what do we propose? Should we [i.e., Armenia] stay closed? Should we live with closed borders? Should we never try to talk about opening the borders [with Turkey]? Naturally, the representation of countries with a large economy is noticeable in countries with a smaller economy. What? Shall we live in fear?”
