A cargo of Russian grain arrived in Armenia via Azerbaijan for the first time since the 1990s.

The Armenian government noted that this was a fulfillment of one of the agreements reached in the United States, which contributes to strengthening the peace established between Yerevan and Baku.

As "Caucasian Knot" reported, Azerbaijan has lifted restrictions on cargo transit to Armenia.

"Trump Route" (TRIPP): A Transport Corridor through Armenia

Russian Railways has organized the shipment of over one thousand tons of wheat from the Dimitrovgrad station in the Ulyanovsk region to Armenia via Azerbaijan, the Russian Ministry of Transport reported on its Telegram channel. The first shipment of 15 grain trucks passed through Azerbaijan and crossed the Georgian-Armenian border. The goods will then be delivered to the Dalarik station of the South Caucasus Railway.

"The organization of the new logistics route became possible thanks to the resumption of cargo transit to Armenia via Azerbaijan. This is the first such shipment since the 1990s," the Ministry of Transport noted.

Russia plans to send another 132 railcars of wheat to Armenia via this route by the end of 2026, and will also consider deliveries of other categories of cargo.

Armenia has confirmed the supply of grain from Russia via Azerbaijan. "Lifting restrictions on cargo transportation to Armenia is an important step for Azerbaijan towards restoring regional communications and developing economic cooperation," reads a statement posted on the Cabinet of Ministers' Facebook page*.

The government added that this fulfilled one of the agreements reached in Washington, which contributes to strengthening the peace established between Yerevan and Baku, and is also important in the context of increasing mutual trust and advancing the peace agenda.

As a reminder, On August 8, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed a declaration on the cessation of hostilities at a meeting in Washington. However, Aliyev and Pashinyan did not sign the peace agreement, but merely initialed it, and analysts noted that most of the declaration's provisions contained vague wording.
