ArmInfo. The state is ready, if necessary, to assist in developing relations between Armenian and Azerbaijani businesses. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this during a briefing on December 25, answering a question from an ArmInfo correspondent.
He noted that there should be no official negotiations on this matter, since in the absence of political restrictions, businesses should negotiate among themselves.
The prime minister expressed hope that bilateral trade between the two countries will develop in the near future, recalling that Armenia has already received imports from Azerbaijan. "I hope that we will soon also be exporting to Azerbaijan," Pashinyan emphasized.
Commenting, at a journalist's request, on the Azerbaijani president's constant expressions of gratitude, even in venues where the latter is absent, the head of government noted that Armenia must demonstrate its position on the current situation. "In fact, several things happened-the lifting of the embargo on wheat imports-first for Kazakhstan, then for Russia. Then, it was confirmed that there are no restrictions on rail transit from Armenia in the opposite direction. One might ask, why aren't trains operating in this case? Because, as I understand it, the scale of our activities and thinking operates on the logic of a single truck. Loading a train and sending it in a certain direction is difficult-you need to consolidate so many goods simultaneously in one place," he noted.
Among the important events, the prime minister also noted the first delivery of gasoline from Azerbaijan to Armenian businesses and the establishment of a railway connection with the Eurasian Economic Union. "And I think it would be strange if we didn't express our position. We need to assess the scale of what has happened. With all this, I want to show, and am showing, that peace is a reality that is reflected in its own reflection," the prime minister emphasized.
