YEREVAN, JUNE 29, ARMENPRESS. The last land road from Syria to Armenia
has been closed. In a conversation with `Armenpress' Jirayr Reyisian -
the press-secretary of National Prelacy of the Aleppo Diocese - stated
this. `Due to the information I possess Kesab-Turkey border checkpoint
has been closed. I learnt from the local media that the checkpoint is
going to be closed for the time being,' - Reyisyan said adding that
nothing is informed about the reasons but he thinks that the border
was closed for security considerations.
He also added that it is not mentioned when Kesab -Turkey border
checkpoint will reopen.
This checkpoint was the last land road with Turkey which was under
state control. After the closing of the border Armenia-Turkey-Syria
land road will be impossible to use as there threatens an imprisonment
of 5 years for the illegal use of the checkpoint. The Syria - Armenia
air communication is also paralyzed.
