“As the situation is developing dynamically, things are changing every day. Initially, it was planned that the first train would come from Kazakhstan, but later it turned out that Azerbaijan is also allowing trains coming from Russia”, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told reporters.
“As for certain groups of goods exported from Russia to Armenia, I know that requests were being put. Essentially, it turns out that the flows are beginning to be rearranged, and goods are starting to reach Armenia through Azerbaijan, while the train initially planned to come from Kazakhstan has not yet arrived. Before the main train, which was the reason for this development, reaches its destination, I assume there may be other trains as well — meaning the situation is constantly changing, with new requests emerging. Now it should also be determined in practice how goods will flow in the opposite direction — that is, from Armenia through Azerbaijan to Russia, Kazakhstan, and other countries. I am confident that the public will be informed about this”, Pashinyan said.
“I believe a truly major and significant event has taken place. I want to once again express my satisfaction about it and reaffirm our readiness to ensure, along the Margara–Kornidzor route and in the opposite direction, the transit of Turkish and Azerbaijani trucks from Turkey to Azerbaijan and from Azerbaijan to Turkey”.
Earlier a train loaded with Russian wheat (15 wagons) arrived in Armenia overnight, passing through the territories of Azerbaijan and Georgia.
