ISTANBUL: Turkiye’s trade minister said on Monday that day-trip passenger crossings at three Turkish customs gates at the Iranian border have been mutually suspended but Turkiye is allowing its own citizens and third-country nationals to enter from Iran.
Minister Omer Bolat said in a statement on X that Iran was permitting its own citizens to enter Iran via Turkiye, adding that commercial cargo transits at all three gates continued under controlled conditions.
“All our units continue to perform their duties on high alert to ensure the uninterrupted continuation of Turkiye’s border crossing services and trade flows,” Bolat said.
