Shalamcheh open for Iran-Iraq trade: official

Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - ©2005 IranMania.com

LONDON, January 23 (IranMania) - An official with the economic 
development committee in Basra has denied the closure of the Shalamcheh 
checkpoint on the Iran-Iraq border, MNA reported.

The Shalamcheh border checkpoint is performing usual commercial trades, 
Munadhil Al-Mayahi told reporters in Basra on Monday.

The only authorized body to decide on whether Shalamcheh border pass 
should be closed is the Iraqi government and the governorate of Basra 
Province, he added.

Al-Mayahi was responding to the rumors by the British sources about the 
closure of the border.

He emphasized that Shalamcheh boarder was not closed in previous days 
and commercial trades and commuting of passengers and pilgrims was going 
on as usual.

The Basra-based news agency WNA had reported that a decision had been 
issued Sunday by the central government to close the border to all 
trucks carrying goods from Iran to Iraq and prevent it from entering 
Iraq. The movement of people, however, was still possible, the report 
added.
