Poland may import goods from Iran through Armenia: minister

Poland may import goods from Iran through Armenia, the country’s Deputy PM, Minister of Economy Janusz Piechociński said, according to Panorama.am.

Shipping and freight transport is very convenient through the implementation of Silk Road project. We could use alternative routes, like Armenia and Georgia, as well as Turkey," Piechociński was quoted as saying by Iranian IRIB news agency.

The Deputy PM noted that if Iranian investors produced goods in Armenia, they would be able to export the products to the $200 million market of the EEU member states without customs duties. Only Armenia is a member of both the EEU and GPS+ system, enabling to export certain products to the European Union with low customs fees.
