The Central Bank has finally found the way of regulating the financial market of Armenia and tools for keeping the field away from turbulence.

It turns out that the current Armenian-Turkish border is illegitimate and there is no legal basis for that because there is no other legal document for the Armenian-Turkish borders besides the document signed by Woodrow Wilson.
