Azerbaijan’s customs officials are currently holding nearly 450
railway cars, bound for Armenia, on the Azerbaijani-Georgian border.

The [Azerbaijani] State Customs Committee says that 288 of the railway
cars were carrying fuel from Turkmenistan to Armenia. The customs
committee, which has been inspecting buyers of the transit cargo since
4 November this year, has found out that some of the cargo from
Russia, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan arrives in Armenia via
Georgia. Because of the Armenian occupation, Azerbaijan is not
allowing goods to enter Armenia via its territory in line with
transportation agreements signed with the CIS countries.
