Georgia has introduced a symbolic tariff for transporting oil
products from Azerbaijan to Armenia, AzerNEWS
reports, citing a statement from the Ministry of Economy of
Georgia.
The ministry noted that in early December 2025, Georgia
facilitated a one-time, free-of-charge transit of Azerbaijani oil
through its territory to Armenia. The subsequent shipment, however,
was transported under the standard tariff, prompting
dissatisfaction in Yerevan.
The tariff issue became a central topic during a meeting in
Yerevan between Georgia’s Minister of Economy and Sustainable
Development Mariam Kvrivishvili and Armenia’s Minister of
Territorial Administration and Infrastructure David Khudatyan.
Khudatyan expressed gratitude to the Georgian side for its new
decision, under which a symbolic transit rate was set for shipping
Azerbaijani oil products to Armenia.
According to the Georgian ministry, this step will significantly
improve bilateral connectivity, increase Armenia’s transit flows,
and strengthen Georgia’s role as a regional transport hub.
The statement added that developing safe, reliable, and
competitive transport routes remains one of Georgia’s top
priorities.
