Today, the supply of diesel fuel from Azerbaijan to Armenia and Russian fertiliser has taken place.

A train consisting of 22 wagons loaded with 1,298 tonnes of diesel fuel and 4 wagons loaded with 240 tonnes of fertiliser was dispatched from the Bilajari station of “Azerbaijan Railways” CJSC towards the Boyuk Kasik station, Caliber.Az reports via local media.

The cargo will be delivered to Armenia via transit through Georgian territory.

So far, 6,312 tonnes of diesel, 979 tonnes of AI-92 petrol, and 2,955 tonnes of AI-95 petrol have been exported from Azerbaijan to Armenia.

To date, more than 23,900 tonnes of grain, over 1,100 tonnes of fertiliser, and 68 tonnes of buckwheat have been sent from Russia to Armenia via transit through Azerbaijan.

According to a decision by President Ilham Aliyev in October 2025, restrictions on the transit of goods from Azerbaijan to Armenia, which had been in place since the occupation period, were lifted, and shipments along this route have since continued.
