Russian wheat shipped to Armenia via transit through Azerbaijan

A new batch of wheat from Russia has been shipped to Armenia via transit through Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijani APA news agency reported.

Seven railway wagons carrying a total of 490 tons of Russian-origin wheat have been dispatched, according to the report.

According to APA, to date, more than 29,000 tons of grain, over 7,000 tons of fertilizer, 414 tons of anthracite coal, 133 tons of aluminum, and 68 tons of buckwheat have been transported from Russia to Armenia via transit through Azerbaijan.

In addition to transit shipments, petroleum products are also exported from Azerbaijan to Armenia.

So far, more than 13,000 tons of diesel fuel, 979 tons of AI-92 gasoline, and 2,955 tons of AI-95 gasoline have been exported from Azerbaijan to Armenia.

The rail cargo passes through Georgian territory because the direct Armenia–Azerbaijan railway has not yet been restored.
