A wheat-loaded train has travelled to Armenia through Azerbaijan, APA reports, following President Ilham Aliyev’s announcement in Kazakhstan about lifting all post-occupation restrictions on cargo transit to Armenia.
According to Azerbaijan Railways, 15 wagons carrying a total of 1,048.8 tons of wheat were cleared for transit from the Russian Federation through Azerbaijan and Georgia and sent to Armenia’s Dalarik station.
President Ilham Aliyev had earlier announced on on 21 October of this year during his state visit to Kazakhstan, that Azerbaijan had removed all restrictions on cargo transit to Armenia.
The restrictions has been in place since the early nineties when Armenia occupied parts of Azerbaijan's territories.
The train ride which took place on the 4th of November marks a historic improvement in relations between the two South Caucasus nations since signing the peace agreement in August.
Contained within the peace agreement include plans for connectivity through establishment of the Trump Route for Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP): a transport link connecting Azerbaijan-proper with its exclave Nakhchivan through Armenian territory.
This had been a contentious issue in the peace negotiations, however the Washington summit represents positive momentum for further development of connectivity in South-Caucasus.
