Jordan: Syrian war closes export route to Europe
None
The head of Jordan's trucking association says that civil war in Syria has closed his country's main export route to Europe and Turkey.
Mohammed Khair al-Daoud says the blocked exports consist mostly of fruit and vegetables. He said Monday that imports of food, clothes, and other goods carried by Kuwaiti, Turkish and Iraqi trucks passing through Syria to Jordan from Turkey also stopped last week. (AP)
