CEO of Maku Free Zone Organization, by presenting a report on
undertaken activities in the zone to the president of Islamic Republic of Iran,
called for a railway connection of Erzurum - Bazergan - Tabriz.
According to Public Relations and International Affairs, Hossein
Froozan, CEO of Maku Free Zone, in an annual meeting with the president by
presenting a report on the process of regional activities in the fields of
export promotion, customs and transit, infrastructure, investment, production
and culture, asked for two main demands of Maku Free Zone Organization namely,
integration of investment management and launching Erzurum, Bazergan and Tabriz
Railway.
He explained that, the issue of lack of integrated investment management
has caused many problems such as administrative bureaucracy, undesirable administrative
procedures especially outside of the zone on allocation of gas and electricity
which in turn causes desperation and unwillingness among investors to invest.
He also raised the issue of establishment of Erzurum, Bazergan and
Tabriz Railway referring to the accomplished agreement between the presidents
of Iran and Turkey and asked the president to issue appropriate orders in this
regard.
