Chairman of Armenia’s State Revenue Committee (SRC) Edvard Hovhannisyan on Wednesday warned against any attempts to import Turkish goods into Armenia.

"Georgia’s land borders have been open since June 1, the movements of individuals are allowed for a certain period of time, but the ban on the import of Turkish goods remains in place. It also applies to goods imported for personal use by individuals," the SRC chief told reporters in the parliament.

Reminding people of the government decision to ban the import of all Turkish goods into Armenia from January 1, which remains in force for six months, Hovhannisyan urged citizens not to try to import Turkish goods into Armenia via the Georgian border, stressing all such attempts will be prevented.

He assured that the baggage inspection at the customs checkpoints, in general, will be carried out in accordance with the existing rules.

"I am sure our citizens are well aware of the fact that all items and luggage are subject to inspection, if necessary, when passing through a customs checkpoint,” Hovhannisyan said.
