Analysts assess the development prospects of the Middle Corridor

Military conflicts in Iran and Ukraine have increased the importance of the Trans-Caspian International Transport Corridor as an alternative route from Asia to Europe. Amid disruptions on traditional routes, the Middle Corridor's attractiveness is growing.

Another batch of petroleum products—1,298 tons of diesel fuel—was exported from Azerbaijan to Armenia today, APA reports.

The cargo was shipped in 22 railcars. Including this shipment, 6,312 tons of diesel fuel, 979 tons of AI-92 gasoline, and 2,955 tons of AI-95 gasoline were exported from Azerbaijan to Armenia, the agency writes.

The train departed from Bilajari station in the direction of Boyuk Kesik station. It also included four cars carrying 240 tons of agricultural fertilizer, shipped from Russia to Armenia via Azerbaijan, Report reports.

The cargo will be delivered to Armenia via Georgia, the publication states.

As a reminder, as of April 1, 23,500 tons of grain, over 1,000 tons of fertilizer, and 68 tons of buckwheat were shipped from Russia to Armenia via Azerbaijan.

In October 2025, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev announced the lifting of all restrictions on cargo transit to Armenia. In early November 2025, a shipment of Russian grain arrived in Armenia via Azerbaijan for the first time since the 1990s. The Armenian government noted that this was the fulfillment of one of the agreements reached in the United States, which contributed to strengthening peace between Yerevan and Baku.

On August 8, 2025, Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed a declaration on the cessation of hostilities at a meeting in Washington. US President Donald Trump stated that the key issue that prevented the signing of a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan has been resolved: the issue of the Zangezur Corridor. The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report "Trump Route" (TRIPP): Transport Corridor through Armenia".

On February 4, Aliyev and Pashinyan discussed the economic cooperation they had initiated at a meeting in the UAE and agreed to explore opportunities to expand trade. Although mutually beneficial, trade and economic cooperation between Azerbaijan and Armenia will be limited in the near future, analysts in Baku noted.
