YEREVAN. – As agricultural product, Armenia formally imports solely newly-hatched chickens from Turkey, the Agriculture Ministry’s State Service on Food Safety Public Relations Department Head Babken Pipoyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.   

As for the agricultural products being imported from Georgia, these products undergo mandatory certification. But Pipoyan did not rule out that if a product comes from Georgia without a certificate, it can be processed in the Armenian border as a product “without a country of origin.”         

Separately, the Armenian State Revenue Committee informed Armenian News-NEWS.am that there is no ban on importing food to Armenia, and the only condition is that the food must have a certificate.
