Footage has been released of the arrival of the first batch of oil products from Azerbaijan to Armenia, APA reports.
On December 18, SOCAR, for the first time, sent locally produced oil products to Armenia.
1,220 tons of AI-95 gasoline, loaded into 22 wagons, were delivered to Armenia on December 19, passing through Georgia.
It should be noted that the first batch of petroleum products was sent based on an agreement reached during a meeting on November 28 in Gabala between Azerbaijan’s Deputy Prime Minister Shahin Mustafayev and Armenia’s Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan.
Azerbaijan’s export of petroleum products to Armenia is purely commercial in nature, and the gasoline will be sold at international market prices.
This development clearly demonstrates that the peace agenda is not merely declarative but is also being implemented in practical terms.
The export of Azerbaijani petroleum products to Armenia reflects the concept of the economic dividends of the peace process and represents an important step toward establishing economic and trade relations between the two countries. It is also expected to contribute to the development of regional economic and trade ties and to the expansion of cooperation among countries in the region in the future.
