Azerbaijan does not favor joint customs with IranMay 3, 2011 - 16:09 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - State Customs Committee has commented on suggestion of Iranian embassy in Azerbaijan to open a single customs point on border of two states. The committee chairman Aydin Aliyev said “there are no official appeals on the issue.” Meanwhile, the head of the State Customs Committee said that as a specialist in customs sphere, he does not see a method of implementing such a project or benefits for both parties. “It is a very difficult question.

For this reason the opening of the Azerbaijani-Iranian customs point is not considered”, he said, according to news.az.
