Another shipment of grain was sent to Armenia via transit through Azerbaijani territory on 4 February. The latest delivery consisted of eight wagons carrying 560 tonnes of grain dispatched from Azerbaijan to Armenia.
A total of 20,660 tonnes of grain has now been transported from Russia to Armenia through Azerbaijani territory.
The continued transit reflects growing practical cooperation and the easing of transport restrictions between the two neighbouring countries amid ongoing efforts to normalise relations.
President Ilham Aliyev lifted lift restrictions on goods transiting through Azerbaijan to Armenia last October. The limitations had been in place during the period of Armenian occupation of Azerbaijani territories.
Since the decision, both direct and transit rail cargo movements along the route have proceeded without disruption, according to Azerbaijani officials.
