Pashinyan: Armenia hopes to soon export goods to Azerbaijan

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that economic cooperation is beginning to dominate the agenda in relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan and expressed hope that Armenian exports to Azerbaijan could begin in the near future.

Speaking during a briefing with journalists, Pashinyan said that economic issues are increasingly taking precedence over political ones in the bilateral relationship, Caliber.Az reports via Armenpress.

“It seems that the economic agenda is prevailing over the political one, which is good, because political programs serve economic ones. And the events of August 8 opened sufficient space for economic cooperation, and I am pleased that trade turnover is being established between Armenia and Azerbaijan. I hope that as soon as possible we will not only import goods from Azerbaijan, but also export goods from Armenia to Azerbaijan,” the prime minister said.

Commenting on the prospects for signing a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Pashinyan added that it is still difficult to name a specific timeframe for completing the process.
