The gateway between Iran and Armenia, that was closed a day earlier, has reopened, according to Ruhollah Latifi, the spokesman of Iran Customs Administration (IRICA).
Latifi said that news coming from the border and comments by drivers crossing the border suggest that the gateway has reopened and the trucks and buses on both sides have been allowed to cross the border.
The border crossing was closed on Friday by Azerbaijani forces.
Negotiations between Baku and Yerevan was due to be held later on Friday and the reopening of the gateway may have followed the talks.
