YEREVAN, February 15. /ARKA/. Entrepreneurs form Russia and Armenia can transport timber and rough timber by motor vehicles through the border checkpoint Upper Lars, the press office of the Eurasian Economic Commission reported on Wednesday.
According to the news release, the transportation became allowed from January 7 in accordance with the Russian government’s decision dated from December 28, 2016.
