Iran-EU Alternative Transit Route
Iran’s Ministry of Roads and Urban Development advised companies shipping to Europe to avoid routes passing through Turkey. The ministry advised truck drivers to take two alternative routes: one through Azerbaijan, Russia and Belarus; and another through Armenia, Georgia, the Black Sea and then into Romania or Bulgaria.
The move comes after border tensions between Iran and Turkey in recent months, mainly on fuel smuggling and Turkish government's inability to guarantee security of Iranian transit trucks.
