The Gurbulak customs post on Turkish side of the common border with Iran was officially opened on Friday in a ceremony attended by officials from the two neighboring countries.
The inauguration ceremony was held on Turkey’s soil with the participation of Reza Rahmani, governor of Iran’s West Azarbaijan Province, Turkish Minister of Trade Omer Bolat, and a number of Iranian and Turkish officials.
Officials said the opening of the Gurbulak customs facility will play a significant role in expanding economic cooperation between the two countries.
The new customs post is located across from Bazargan customs terminal and is considered one of Iran’s most important transit crossings.
Approximately 200,000 transit trucks pass through this border crossing annually.
