About the embargo on Turkish goods
During the period of aggression unleashed on September 27 in Artsakh by Azerbaijan and Turkey with the involvement of foreign terrorist mercenaries, the Armenian government introduced an embargo on the import of Turkish goods into the country on October 21, which will be in effect from December 31, 2020 for a period of 6 months.
The need to take this measure was prompted by the fact that the Turkish authorities, with their provocative appeals, the supply of weapons to Azerbaijan and the transfer of mercenary terrorists to the region, undermined the stability in the region, the process of a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs to achieve this.
At the end of November, Armenian Minister of Economy Vahan Kerobyan stated that in connection with the ban on the import of Turkish goods into Armenia, a niche of $ 200 million a year is opening on the domestic market. He explained that the main large groups of goods imported from Turkey are: clothing - 69.4 million US dollars; citrus fruits - $ 10.3 million; cars, equipment and mechanisms (electric heaters, refrigerators, etc.) - $35.2 million; oil and oil products - $ 24.3 million, chemicals and products of related industries - $ 23.6 million, base metals and products made from them - $ 21.6 million. -0-
