Speaker: Armenia open to trade with Azerbaijan, including fuel purchases

Armenia is ready for trade and economic cooperation with Azerbaijan, which may include the purchase of petroleum products, Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Alen Simonyan told a press briefing, Olaylar informs via Armenpress.

He urged the public not to focus solely on fuel, adding that the more alternative energy sources Armenia has, the better.

Simonyan said discussions are underway on the transit of Azerbaijani goods through Armenia to the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and Türkiye. He did not rule out that such transit could begin in the near future.
