Another shipment from Russia to Armenia via Azerbaijan is
scheduled to be carried out today.
AzerNEWS reports that Armenia will receive a
wheat consignment consisting of 14 railway wagons with a total
weight of 977 tons.
The wagons will depart from the Bilajari railway station in
Azerbaijan before continuing transit toward Armenia.
The shipment is part of ongoing regional transit operations
conducted through Azerbaijan’s transport infrastructure, which
continues to serve as an important corridor for cargo
transportation across the South Caucasus.
It should be recalled that on October 21, 2025, in a joint press
statement with Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, President
Ilham Aliyev emphasized that Azerbaijan had lifted all restrictions
on cargo transit to Armenia that had existed since the occupation
period. He noted that the first such transit shipment involved
Kazakh grain delivered to Armenia.
