Armenian FM Mirzoyan: first-tier results on Armenia-Turkey border could come soon

Armenia's Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Ararat Mirzoyan, said that interconnecting electricity supply networks is the easiest task to carry out and that the process is already under way. Speaking about the opening of the Armenia-Turkey border, he said, according to Qafqazinfo, that he expects first-tier results to be seen in the near future because no major construction work is needed there.

Mirzoyan said some issues require substantial work while others can be resolved easily. He noted that the normalization of relations between the two countries has advanced considerably and that Armenia-Turkey dialogue is so intensive that various economic and trade matters can now be discussed in diplomatic language.

Mirzoyan said the process has matured to the point that “we could wake up tomorrow morning and see the Armenia-Turkey border open.” The report did not give a specific date for the border opening.
