/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian investments in Syria might prove effective,
as Syria can provide duty free export, Syrian Chamber of Commerce
Board Member, Armenian-Syrian intergovernmental committee Chairman
Leon Zaki Etalian believes.
According to Etalian, Syria-manufactured products are mainly for
export, so production volume is meant for 322 million consumers. "
When asked about Syria’s population size, I reply 322 million people
reside in Syria, when in reality it’s 22 million," Etalian said. In
this context, he noted that Armenian investments in Syrian economy
might prove very effective as the committee is working towards
introducing changes in Syrian legislation, aiming to minimize or even
cancel import duty.
Etalian added that Armenian -Syrian intergovernmental committee is
closely collaborating in economy sphere. He noted that recently Armenia
participated in business forum and exhibition in Syria. Return visit
of Syrian party is expected soon.
