Armenia explores potential exports to Azerbaijan as economic dialogue advances

Armenia is considering the possibility of exporting goods to Azerbaijan, as discussions between the two countries continue over potential trade supplies, officials said.

Economy Minister Gevorg Papoyan said competitive transit costs via Georgian Railways could create favourable conditions for future deliveries, opening new commercial routes between the long-time rivals.

Possible Armenian export items include aluminium products, agricultural goods, beverages and textiles, according to officials familiar with the talks. Papoyan said negotiations were ongoing and that specific terms would be agreed at a later stage.

The discussions follow a recent milestone in bilateral trade, when a fuel shipment from Azerbaijan reached Armenia by rail. The delivery marked the first direct trade deal between the two countries, signalling a potential shift in economic relations after years of political tension.
