The ratification of the agreement on air communication between the governments of Armenia and the Syrian Arab Republic will allow the two countries to establish full air cooperation. This was stated by Deputy Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructures Armen Simonian during the discussion of the issue at the meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Economic Issues on February 22.

According to him, this communication will also facilitate the development of international cooperation. It will ensure regular bilateral air communication.

"The ratification of the agreement will contribute to the activation of bilateral economic ties.
