At today's cabinet meeting, Prime Minister of Armenia Tigran Sargsyan instructed the Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Economy to consider the potential of facilitating the visa regime with Iraq. The ministries should submit a draft for discussion at the ministerial committee within a week.
"It is clear that in Iraq today there is quite a big tourist potential, and it is necessary to establish a system whereby the citizens of this country are able to visit Armenia. Iraq today is a country that has large solvent and dynamic tourism potential. And we see that, in our region, neighboring countries introduce such regimes to be able to attract tourists," Sargsyan said.
Also today the visa regime with Croatia, which recently became a member of the European Union, has been canceled.
