Pashinyan: Turkey amending legislation to officially list Armenia as  import destination

ArmInfo.  Turkey is amending its legislation to officially include Armenia in its list of authorized import destinations for Turkish products, as stated by  Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan  during the election campaign in the  Shengavit district of Yerevan, while provided context to an exchange  with Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan. 

Earlier, media microphones captured Mirzoyan whispering to the Prime  Minister that "the Turks are opening [it] today." 

According to the Prime Minister, Turkish trade regulations previously  prohibited the direct listing of "Armenia" as the final destination  for exported goods. Consequently, Turkish products intended for the  Armenian market had to be documented through third countries before  being delivered to Yerevan. Now, a change is being introduced to  Turkish legislation that will include Armenia in the list of  importing countries for Turkish products.
