Greece-Armenia Trade Relations
Greece and Armenia maintain strong bilateral relations with growing trade connections. As fellow members of the European trade network (Armenia through its EAEU membership and Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement with the EU), both countries benefit from simplified customs procedures and preferential trade terms.
ASMO Logistics specializes in freight forwarding between Greece and Armenia, offering both sea freight via Mediterranean-Black Sea routes and efficient road transport solutions through the Balkans and Turkey.
