Russia lifts limitations on land border crossing for Iran

The Iranian embassy in Moscow has persuaded the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to lift limitations for land border crossing with Azerbaijan and Georgia by Iranian citizens and transport, IRNA reports.


The Iranian embassy said that the decision was made to aid freighting between Iran and Russia. Iranian citizens may now enter Russia through Azerbaijan and Georgia.


The embassy’s report underlines that opening the land border for Iran is an important step in increasing trade turnover, reduction of export and transit expenses and increase of direct freighting quantities using the international transport corridor North-South between Iran, Russia and other states.


The border with Azerbaijan and Georgia was closed for Iran, causing problems in transport and organization of goods exchange.
