Turkish authorities have announced Friday that they have proceeded to lift the embargo on direct air freight with Armenia in an attempt to pave the way for normalizing relations.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Vahan Hunanianian confirmed the decision and noted that the Turkish side has notified the country’s authorities that «the embargo has been lifted this Friday.»
«We would like to remind that this was included in one of the main agreements reached between the parties in July 2022 and we hope that the rest of the agreements will also be implemented,» he pointed out, according to information from the Armenpress news agency.
He also stressed that «Armenia will continue to support negotiations with Turkey to establish diplomatic relations and achieve the reopening of the border between the two countries».
Hours earlier, Turkish media reported the resumption of air trade between the two countries. The border between the two countries has been closed since 1993 following Ankara’s initiative and due to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
