“This became possible in the context of peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as part of the agreements signed in Washington in August. Just yesterday, a train carrying Russian wheat also arrived in Armenia,” Khudatyan said.
He emphasized that the development is not only politically important but also economically significant, as it drastically reduces the time required to transport cargo to Armenia.
The Kazakh ambassador called the event historic.

On the night of November 6, approximately 1,000 tons of Russian wheat also reached Armenia by train via Azerbaijani territory. The Russian side announced plans to export another 132 train cars of wheat to Armenia via the same route.
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev stated on October 21, 2025, that his country had lifted transit restrictions on Armenian cargo.
