A train carrying a fresh shipment of diesel fuel from Azerbaijan to Armenia departed today from the Bilajari station of the Azerbaijan Railways CJSC. The shipment, consisting of 16 wagons loaded with 974 tons of diesel fuel, is moving in the direction of the Boyuk Kasik station, from where it will be delivered to Armenia via transit through Georgia.
The Operative Information Center-OMM reports that this delivery is part of an ongoing export process that began in late 2025. To date, Azerbaijan has exported a total of 7,610 tons of diesel, 979 tons of AI-92 gasoline, and 2,955 tons of AI-95 gasoline to Armenia. The previous major shipment occurred on April 14, when 22 tank wagons carrying 1,298 tons of diesel were dispatched from Azerbaijan.
The export of petroleum products to Armenia was made possible following a strategic decision by President Ilham Aliyev in October 2025. This move effectively lifted the transit and trade restrictions that had been in place since the period of occupation. The first shipment under this new framework took place on December 18, 2025, involving 1,220 tons of AI-95 premium motor fuel. This development is seen as a significant step in the normalization of economic relations and the establishment of sustainable energy corridors within the South Caucasus region, reflecting Azerbaijan's commitment to regional stability and cooperation.
