Baku/06.01.23/Turan: From January 1, Turkey lifted the ban on direct air cargo transportation to Armenia, the Haberturk agency reported on Friday.
This information was also confirmed by the press secretary of the Armenian Foreign Ministry Vahan Hunanyan.
He recalled that the establishment of cargo transportation was one of the agreements reached during the July meeting between the special representatives of Armenia and Turkey.
"We expect that the next agreement - on ensuring the possibility of crossing the land border for citizens of third countries, will also be implemented as soon as possible," Hunanyan said.
Recall that this ban was introduced by Ankara back in the 90s in connection with the Karabakh conflict. At the same time, the land border between the two countries was also closed. -02D-
