Russian wheat beting transported to Armenia via Azerbaijan - minister 

ArmInfo.  Wheat of Russian origin is currently being transported from Russia to Armenia via Azerbaijan. This news was shared on his Facebook page by RA Minister of Economy Gevork Papoyan.

"Dear compatriots, I have more good news. Wheat of Russian origin is  currently being transported from Russia to Armenia via Azerbaijan. I  would also like to note that wheat of Kazakh origin is also en route  and will reach Armenia in the coming days, again via Azerbaijan," the  head of the RA Ministry of Economy wrote.

In this regard, it's worth noting that these two "good" pieces of  news might give the impression that the republic was completely cut  off from the outside world and living in famine. This raises the  question: was wheat not entering the country until today, or was  there perhaps a shortage of bread in stores? The minister said  absolutely nothing about how supplies through Azerbaijan would affect  bakery prices in the republic, or whether they would affect them at  all.

As a reminder, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev previously  announced the complete lifting of restrictions on goods shipped to  Armenia via Azerbaijan. He cited the start of wheat shipments from  Kazakhstan as an example.
