Armenia and Azerbaijan exchanging lists of “potentially interesting goods” for trade – Pashinyan
YEREVAN (ARKA) — Armenia and Azerbaijan are currently sharing lists of goods that may be of interest for mutual trade, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced during a press briefing.
“This process is ongoing. You will be informed when there are updates. Such discussions are taking place. I am aware that preliminary lists have been exchanged and are under review,” the prime minister stated.
Pashinyan highlighted that the Armenian government has not mandated local private companies to import Azerbaijani petroleum products, but has simply made them aware of the opportunity.
Previously, the Armenian Ministry of Economy validated reports from Azerbaijani media regarding the import of a second shipment of petroleum products from Azerbaijan to Armenia. This shipment consists of 1,000 tons of AI-92 gasoline, 1,000 tons of diesel fuel, and 1,800 tons of AI-95 gasoline.
The first shipment of petroleum products from Azerbaijan in over 30 years—1,218 tons of AI-95 gasoline—was brought into Armenia on December 19, transiting through Georgia.
