Armenia-Syria foreign trade suffers considerable loss
September 14, 2013 | 02:26
YEREVAN. - The current situation in Syria has had a negative impact on
the Armenian-Syrian commercial ties.
Before the start of the Syrian crisis, the Armenia-Syria trade
turnover had totaled an annual amount of $4-5 million.
In line with customs statistics, about $550,000 in trade was conducted
between Armenia and Syria in the first half of 2013; this amount is
three times less than in the first half of the year past.
In 2013, Armenia managed to export solely 170 watches to Syria; there
were no other exports. In previous years, Armenia was able to export
stones and ceramic objects to Syria.
But the imports from Syria are more diversified this year. The most
imported items were shoes, with 45,000 pairs. It is noteworthy that
the number of imported shoes almost doubled as compared to the
previous year. Detergents and cleaning items are second, and grains
are third.
