Yerevan has welcomed Türkiye’s decision to lift the restrictions on bilateral trade with Armenia.
Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ani Badalyan said in a statement on social media that the move is an important step toward the development of full and normal relations between the two countries.
“We welcome Türkiye’s decision to lift restrictions on bilateral trade with the Republic of Armenia, which is another outcome of the Armenia– Türkiye normalization process.
This decision is significant for expanding trade and business ties between the two countries, promoting economic connectivity in the region, and ensuring peace and prosperity.
We emphasize that this is an important step toward the development of full and normal relations between the two countries, which can be logically followed by the opening of the Armenia– Türkiye border and the establishment of diplomatic relations.”
