More than 14,000 Iranians visited Armenia from June 22 to July 16, Rouhollah Latifi, the spokesperson of the Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration has said, according to the Financial Tribune.
Almost all those traveling want to get vaccinated against the Covid-19 pandemic.
Latifi said “10,093 travelled to the neighboring country via the Nurduz Border Crossing in Jolfa County, East Azarbaijan. In addition, 35 flights operated from Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport during the period, carrying 3,911 passengers.”
Foreigners currently residing in Armenia and tourists too receive the jabs free of charge. Travelers, however, will need to spend 10 days in the country to become eligible for the shots.
