MOSCOW, April 16. /TASS/. Avtovaz does not change plans to begin Lada car sales in Iran this year, chief executive of the Russian automaker Maxim Sokolov told reporters.

"We do not change [our plans] because any aggravations pass by," Sokolov said. "The infrastructure for sales [in Iran] is actually ready. We will begin supplies and sales during this year," he noted.

The company continues negotiations in respect of Egypt and Central Asian countries, Sokolov added.
