The majority of buses operating weekly passenger and cargo transports to Turkey and from Turkey to Armenia will not leave Yerevan tomorrow. The Yerevan-Istanbul tours have been canceled due to an increase in customs costs for cargo transported from Turkey to Armenia, representatives of the transportation companies told NEWS.am.

At one of the companies we were told that the January 22 bus would not leave for Turkey, as only several businessmen were scheduled to travel. However, if necessary they will organize a trip to Turkey by a bus of another company. “The businessmen are expecting a final decision by customs service. However, if you really need to go to Turkey we can arrange it. But, we would advise against it if you are going for commercial purposes,” the company representative said.

As NEWS.am reported earlier, cargo transportation costs from Turkey to Armenia have doubled since January 16. It is conditioned solely by requirements imposed by the customs authorities of Armenia.
