Officials discuss customs and fuel issues and assign follow-up responsibilities
IRNA, citing Iran’s Organization of Planning and Budget, reported that Iran and Armenia agreed to pursue measures addressing delays affecting Armenian trucks in Iran in the areas of customs and fuel. Officials were assigned to follow the issue, but the evidence does not show that the delays had already been resolved.
Verified facts: IRNA, citing Iran’s Organization of Planning and Budget, reported that delays affecting Armenian trucks on the Iranian side were discussed in two areas: customs and fuel. The discussion took place during a meeting in Tehran between Iran’s Vice President and head of the Organization of Planning and Budget, Seyyed Hamid Pourmohammadi, and Armenia’s ambassador to Tehran, Grigor Hakobyan. The meeting also covered bilateral issues, follow-up on decisions from the 18th session of the Iran–Armenia Joint Commission, and planning for its 19th session. The participants agreed that relevant executive bodies should address the truck delays, while officials responsible for energy, transport, urban and rural development, and industry, mining, trade and communications were tasked with following the matter until a result is achieved.
