"Hayk's Arrow" Armenian Strategic Center

Trade

A sourced record of talks, agreements, border arrangements, transport, trade and humanitarian contacts.

Counting & sources

Each record has one primary category and is counted once. A meeting that addresses several topics remains one event. Repeated announcements, translations and mirrored reports do not create extra events. The chart measures documented developments, not the success of normalization.

Event dates determine the timeline; a later publication date is shown separately. Month-only dates are retained when the exact day is not established. Official statements verify what a body recorded, agreed or announced; implementation is identified separately. Coverage is selective and may be expanded.

2022

Temporary Turkish-import ban expires

TradeImplemented

Trade restrictions

Armenia’s temporary ban on listed Turkish-origin imports ceased to apply on 1 January 2022.

Decree 1048-N applied for six months from 1 July 2021; ARLIS records its end date as 1 January 2022 and loss of force under its own sunset clause. This is expiry of a temporary measure, not a newly signed repeal agreement.

2021

Import restriction renewed for six months

TradeAdopted

Trade restrictions

Armenia adopted a further six-month restriction on listed Turkish-origin imports from 1 July 2021.

Decision 1048-N gives both the adoption date and its 1 July effective date. It retained specified exceptions, so it should not be described as a ban on all trade with Türkiye.

Import restriction enters into force

TradeImplemented

Trade restrictions

The temporary restriction on listed Turkish-origin imports entered into force for six months.

This is the effective date specified in the amended legal text, not a claim that every shipment stopped. The measure included defined exclusions.

Import-ban start date amended

TradeAdopted

Trade procedures

Armenia moved the import ban’s start date to 1 January 2021.

Decision 2214-N replaced 31 December 2020 with 1 January 2021 and excluded goods already imported before that day. The amended date takes precedence over the October announcement.
