Armenia and Azerbaijan are exchanging and reviewing lists of goods for potential trade, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at a briefing following a government meeting.

Axar.az informs, citing Armenian media, “Processes are currently underway — Armenia and Azerbaijan are exchanging lists of potential goods that they may be interested in selling or purchasing,” Pashinyan noted.

Commenting on how the government determined who would purchase Azerbaijani gasoline, Pashinyan said the market had been studied in advance and offers were made to businesspeople who would not turn the opportunity into a political action.

He said that the proposal to sell Azerbaijani petroleum products to Armenia during the meeting of delimitation commissions was made by Azerbaijan’s deputy prime minister.

“We said that such an opportunity exists. Companies from both sides — if I’m not mistaken, two companies from our side — established contact. At the same time, there were boycott attempts during the import of the first batch. Some gas station chains refused to sell this gasoline,” Pashinyan said.

It should be recalled that in December last year, for the first time in several decades, a shipment of Azerbaijani gasoline arrived in Armenia — 1,200 tons of petroleum products were transported via Georgia.
