ArmInfo.The greatest threat to Armenia comes from Turkey, the second President of Armenia, Robert Kocharian, is convinced.

The threat is that Turkey, when opening the border, will do everything to turn Armenia into something similar to Adjara, " Kocharyan said, according to him, this also applies to the Turkish presence and Turkish business.
