More grain shipments through Azerbaijan are expected to reach Armenia, Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan said.
On November 6, Russian grain was shipped to Armenia by rail via Azerbaijan and Georgia. Days later, Kazakh grain (1000 tons) also arrived via Azerbaijan and Georgia.
Asked if more grain shipments are expected, Papoyan responded, “It continues, there are new batches on the way now.” He did not elaborate on the country of origin and said he would provide details once the grain arrives.
Armenia and Azerbaijan lifted all restrictions on the transit of goods between their countries after initialling a peace agreement in August. The first shipments under the new arrangement were the Russian and Kazakh grain cargos.
Russia has said it will send 132 more wagons of grain via the same route, following the arrival of 15 wagons carrying 1,000 tons on November 6.
