"As you know, since August 2021, Azerbaijan has been collecting customs duties from Iranian trucks on the Goris-Kapan motorway’s Eyvazli-Chayzam section which passes through its territory," he said.
Pashinyan said that an unofficial notification was received Wednesday from Azerbaijan that as of midnight Thursday, they are going to carry out customs and passport inspections also for Armenian citizens and Armenian goods.
Pashinyan also added that Azerbaijan is intending to establish a border checkpoint on the Eyvazli - Chayzami section on its territory.
“The situation will not change for the Iranian trucks after Wednesday’s decision of Azerbaijan, with the only difference that they can now travel also on the paved Tatev-Aghvan road without paying additional customs duties,” he added.
