 15.04.2006 - IRAQ

Direct rail traffic from Turkiye to Iraq can be stopped seldom. That's way "railway + truck" alternatives are used. There are few alternatives.
1) Via Zakho : By railway to Nusaybin or Mardin stations in Turkiye than realod to truck for Zakho direction.
But Zakho border is so busy and this situation causes delayed on transport time and high truck transport cost.
For this reason we have started to realize transportations as below:
2) Via Aleppo / Syria : By railway to Aleppo and reload to truck than delivery to any Iraqian place by trucks
3) Via Islahiye/Turkiye : By railway to Islahiye station which is opposite of Meydan Ekbez (Turkiye & Syrian rail border)
than reload to trucks and move to Iraq via Syria.
