I hope that there will be exports from Armenia to Azerbaijan as well, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated at a press briefing Thursday.

According to him, Armenian society has acquired a habit of complicating the situation. “In fact, several things have happened in connection with Armenia, and Armenia must express its attitude. We express our positive attitude to this issue,” he added, answering the question of why he had repeatedly welcomed, on various platforms, the decision of the Azerbaijani president to unblock transit communications to Armenia.

Pashinyan stressed that the ban on wheat imports from Kazakhstan, and then also from Russia, has been lifted and that there are no restrictions on the movement of trains in the opposite direction from Armenia—that is, transit transportation through Georgia and Azerbaijan.

He asked why, in that case, trains are not leaving Armenia. He explained that the logic of the actions works within the framework of one truck, since loading a train and sending it in a certain direction presents a certain complexity and that it is necessary to concentrate the appropriate amount of goods in one place.

The Armenian premier recalled that at that time Azerbaijan had expressed its readiness to sell oil products to Armenian organizations. “I think it would be strange if we did not express our attitude. And I, yes, express this attitude, and I think I am doing the right thing,” Pashinyan added.

Also, he considered this important for the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), since Armenia now has a railway connection with the other EAEU member countries, which never existed before. “In fact, it is very important to assess the scale of what happened. I want to show what peace [between Armenia and Azerbaijan] is. And I show and declare that peace is a reality, and that peace has concrete forms of expression,” the Armenian PM concluded.
