“The shipment of Russian and Kazakh cargo to Armenia by railway via Azerbaijan and Georgia is beneficial for everyone, and this is proven by the increasing volume of shipments.”
“Elchi” reports that this was stated by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksey Overchuk.
Specialists of “Russian Railways” reached an agreement on the transportation of Russian and Kazakh cargo to Armenia via Azerbaijan and Georgia in just a few days. After thirty years, the first grain to arrive in Armenia by railway was from Russia. Fertilizers are already starting to arrive, and the range of transported goods is expanding. “This is beneficial for everyone – Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia,” – said the Deputy Prime Minister.
Overchuk claimed that the Russian government is interested in developing trade and increasing cargo flow between countries: “We are grateful to Azerbaijan and Georgia for their very constructive and effective cooperation in lifting the blockade of a member state of the Eurasian Economic Union”.
