Mirzoyan’s famous “whisper”. Foreign Ministry approves a direct trade trip with Turkey

The spokesperson of the RA MFA spoke about the removal of bans on bilateral trade by Turkey with RA.

“We welcome Turkey’s decision to remove the ban on bilateral trade with Armenia, which is another result of the process of normalization of relations between Armenia and Turkey.

The decision is significant in terms of expanding trade and business ties between the two countries, promoting economic connectivity in the region, and ensuring peace and prosperity.

Let’s emphasize that this is an important step in the direction of the development of full and normal relations between the two countries, which can have its logical continuation through the opening of the Armenia-Turkey border and the establishment of diplomatic relations,” said the post on Facebook.

As we have already reported, direct trade between Armenia and Turkey in the customs sense, without reformulations, has become possible.

Let’s remind that yesterday, during the campaign in the Shengavit administrative district of Yerevan, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan approached Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan live and said something in his ear.

Later, Pashinyan clarified that it refers to the change in the wording of the export of goods from Turkey to Armenia.

According to him, according to the legal regulations of the Turkish side, Armenia was not included in the list of countries, which is why the goods were first of all formulated as being exported to a third country, and then re-exported to Armenia.
