YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 18, NOYAN TAPAN. The agreement on free
trade between Armenia and Iran will be signed as a result of
lasting negotiations, the RA minister of trade and economic
development Nerses Yeritsian stated at the September 17 press
conference. He reminded that Armenia is a member of the World
Trade Organization (WTO), while Iran is not. The problem is that
this agreement will ensure equal conditions for businessmen of
the two countries, at the same time not contradicting the WTO
provisions.

between Armenia and Iran was stated during the recent visit of
the Iranian foreign minister to Armenia.
