First Turkish-Iraqi transit convoy passes through Syria, reviving abandoned trade route

LONDON: Syrian authorities reported the crossing of the first transit convoy between Turkiye and Iraq on Monday through the Al-Yarubiyah-Rabia crossing, in the country’s northeastern region. The move is highly important as it revives transport and trade routes through Syria’s territory that were abandoned due to the civil war lasting from 2011 to 2024. The convoy entered from the Tal Abyad border crossing on the Syrian-Turkish border and then moved to Iraq through the Al-Yarubiyah-Rabia crossing, according to the Syrian Arab News Agency.
