Syria: Vladimir Putin intends to create free trade zone with Russia

Voltaire Network | 3 June 2012

The President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir V. Putin, is considering the establishment of a free trade zone between Syria and the Customs Union [1]

The Customs Union brings together Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. Preliminary studies on the creation of the free trade zone began on May 25, 2012.

A free trade agreement between the UD and Syria would neutralize the impact of Western sanctions against Syria.
