Director General of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development: As the capacity of trade relations with Syria increases, trade routes will expand and there are no restrictions in this regard.

According to the International Iranian Stone Exhibition, Amin Tarfa stated: "The problems and restrictions of transit caused by the corona with the countries have been resolved, and only with Turkmenistan, transit exchanges are still carried out through trailer exchanges;" Of course, in all countries the exchange of goods is still difficult and there are occasional restrictions, but there are no serious prohibitions and restrictions.

The director general of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development added: "Georgia did not allow Iranian citizens, but with the consultation of the embassy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this restriction should be lifted." The visa problem with Azerbaijan has also been resolved.

Regarding the Tir Convention, he said: "Any country that joins this convention, in compliance with the requirements of the convention, has freedom of transit and the doors of the country are practically opened; Iraq also intends to accede to the convention, but the legislative process regarding gunfire in Iraq has not yet been fully implemented. Earlier, Iranian transit trucks entered Iraq, but now Iraq has begun implementing the Mercury Convention and has declared some of its borders as Mercury, indicating its willingness to fully implement the Mercury Convention.

"Transportation facilities are a function of trade demand," he said of trade with Syria and whether there are grounds for developing transit with the country. Certainly, if there is a continuous commercial demand for any route, that route becomes commercial in terms of transportation. Therefore, as the capacity of trade relations with Syria increases, there will be no restrictions on increasing trade lines.
