A freight train carrying with Russian grain has departed from Bilajari station in Azerbaijan, heading to Armenia via transit routes through Georgia.
The 25-wagon train is transporting 1,746 tonnes of grain and will cross Georgian territory before arriving at Armenia’s Dalarik station.
Since the start of these shipments, 285 wagons carrying about 19,900 tonnes of Russian grain have been delivered to Armenia through Azerbaijani transit corridors.
The latest delivery forms part of a steady flow of Russian agricultural cargo moving to Armenia via Azerbaijan.
The expanding grain corridor highlights deeper economic interaction between Azerbaijan and Armenia, even as political relations remain complex. Analysts note that increased transit traffic raises broader questions about Georgia’s traditional role as a regional transit hub.
At the same time, trade links between Baku and Yerevan are gradually diversifying. In 2025, Azerbaijan exported $788,000 worth of fuel to Armenia with no recorded reciprocal imports, highlighting Azerbaijan’s growing importance as a supplier and transit partner.
Energy cooperation is also expanding, with Russian liquefied gas transit through Azerbaijan increasingly viewed as strategically significant for Armenia.
Economists say rising trade and transit volumes could serve as a practical confidence-building mechanism between the two South Caucasus neighbours.
With grain, energy and other commodities increasingly moving across Azerbaijani territory, Baku is positioning itself as a central logistics hub in the region, while Armenia gains additional supply routes and Russia secures alternative pathways for its exports.
