It turns out that Armenia has been trying to expose itself to risk  for 30 years, but neighboring Turkey  has generously prevented this:  Tunyan responds to Ananyan

ArmInfo. Babken Tunyan, deputy chair of the Standing Committee on Economic Affairs and member of the ruling Civil Contract faction, responded to the statements made by David Ananyan, former head of the State Revenue Committee of Armenia, regarding the risks of opening the borders with Turkey  for  the Armenian economy.

"Former SRC chairman David Ananyan asserts in a Facebook post that  "opening borders may have a certain political and psychological  significance, but economically, it doesn't offer a wide range of  opportunities. Instead, it carries the risks of vulnerability and  dependence."

According to Mr. Ananyan's analysis, it turns out that Armenia has  been attempting for 30 years to expose itself to risk and economic  damage (to unblock itself), but the neighboring countries that have  blockaded us (Turkey) have generously prevented this.

This is, indeed, an interesting thesis," Tunyan wrote on social  media.
