Abstract

The article focuses on Armenia receiving a cargo shipment through Azerbaijan for the first time in over 30 years, marking a significant step towards reopening regional transport routes previously blocked by conflict. Armenian Economy Minister Gevorg Papoyan confirmed the arrival of a train carrying approximately 1,050 tonnes of Russian wheat, with additional shipments expected soon. This event represents the first direct cargo transit between Azerbaijan and Armenia since the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991, following decades of conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. The development follows Azerbaijan's announcement of lifted restrictions on goods movement to Armenia as part of a draft peace deal aimed at normalizing relations between the two countries.
