More Russian shipments sent to Armenia via Azerbaijan

A total of 630 tons of wheat and 36 tons of propane have been sent from Russia to Armenia in the latest transit rail shipment via Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijani APA news agency reported.

Nine wagons carrying wheat, with a total weight of 630 tons, as well as one wagon carrying 36 tons of propane, were sent to Armenia.

To date, more than 49,000 tons of grain, around 9,000 tons of fertilizer, 1,136 tons of propane, 133 tons of aluminum, 1,114 tons of coal and 67 tons of timber have been sent from Russia to Armenia in transit through Azerbaijan.

At the same time, around 15,000 tons of diesel fuel and around 5,000 tons of AI-92 and AI-95 gasoline have so far been exported from Azerbaijan to Armenia.

The shipments pass through Georgia because the direct Armenia-Azerbaijan railway connection has not yet been restored.
