Azerbaijan, Baku, 11 February / corr Trend E.Huseynov / The Azerbaijani-Iranian goods turnover can be increased to $2bln, Naser Hamidi Zare, the Iranian Ambassador to Azerbaijan, said on 11 February.
The governments of the two countries were ordered to increase the turnover to $1bln despite the fact that in 2007, the goods turnover between Iran and Azerbaijan did not attain even $1bln. However, the potential of bilateral economic relations is so high that it is now possible to reach, not only $1.5blnm, but $2bln in the near future, Hamidi Zare said.
The Ambassador voiced his satisfaction at the level of bilateral operations, especially within higher and government levels. He stated that Azerbaijani senior officials are expected to visit Iran. The speaker of the Parliament, ministers of transport, agriculture, health and foreign affairs are amongst them.
