Turkey’s Port of Trabzon is ready to accept Armenian cargo, the port’s chief Muzaffer Ermis said.
“Should Turkish government’s agreement be procured, the port will be ready to service cargo transfers to and from Armenia. Both Turkey and Armenia will benefit from it,” Gunebakis Turkish website cited the port chief as saying.
“At present, Armenia’s implementing $7,5 bn worth of imports and exports via Georgia’s Port of Poti. There’s a railway to Poti, which functions with lengthy breaks. However, one can get from Yerevan to Trabzon any time. Also, the port of Trabzon is ready to service the same volume of cargo transfers that Poti does,” Mr Ermis said.
