During today’s session, the Armenian government lifted the ban on imports of Turkish goods.

In October 2020, during the 44-day war, the government decided to set a ban on the imports of Turkish goods into Armenia starting from December 31, 2020, “taking into consideration the facts that have been confirmed several times, according to which Turkey is blatantly supporting Azerbaijan’s war and terrorist acts against the Republic of Artsakh”.

The ban was set for six months, and in June, it was extended for another six months (the term ends tomorrow).

More than two weeks ago, the Ministry of Economy informed that it is developing a draft decision to extend the ban for another six months, but it was never introduced in the government’s agenda.

Today marked the last session of the government, and there was no such draft decision, meaning the ban will be lifted starting from January 1, 2022.
