ArmInfo. Armenia and Turkey are working to launch air cargo transportation. The ermenihaber website reports with reference to the Turkish <Hurrriyet> newspaper.
According to the newspaper, work on launching air cargo services is nearing completion, and air cargo transportation between the two countries will begin before the end of 2022. "Now Turkish goods will be delivered to Armenia directly," the source notes.
Another important issue of the Armenian-Turkish settlement process is the granting of permission to third-country nationals to cross the Armenian-Turkish land border. However, according to the source, there are problems in this matter. In particular, the 128-meter bridge on the Armenian-Turkish border needs repair.
A few weeks ago there was a meeting at the level of experts. However, clear steps in this direction are expected later due to difficult weather conditions. Turkish specialists have begun work on the opening of the Alijan checkpoint on the Armenian-Turkish border.
On July 1, the Armenian Foreign Ministry reported on the agreement reached between special representatives of Armenia and Turkey Ruben Rubinyan and Serdar Kilic on the opening of the Armenian-Turkish border for citizens of third countries. Yerevan and Ankara also agreed to establish direct air freight as soon as possible.
