Armenia's government has instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
to start negotiations with Iran to settle the problem of import
of 52 product items, Krist Pilosyan, Vice-President of the Union
of Manufacturers and Businessmen (Employers) of Armenia (UMB(E)A),
told Tert.am.
"If it lasts long, we will bring products from Europe, but the cost
will rise by about 7%," Pilosyan said.
Numerous enterprises are using polymeric raw materials imported from
Iran, said Mr Piloyan, who is Director of the Plastik Company.
"This situation developed 25 days ago and we should have applied to
the government long ago," Pilosyan said.
The UMB(E)A member Eduard Kirakosyan told Tert.am that the
aforementioned 52 product items is not the entire list of products
Armenia imports from Iran.
As to whether economic sanctions against Iran are the reason,
Kirakosyan said that "it appears to be so. We suppose this is a
response to sanctions."
