Russia and Azerbaijan may increase trade turnover by 25%

Azerbaijan and Russia may increase trade turnover by 20-25%, Russia's Deputy Economic Development Minister Azer Talibov said on the sidelines of the 9th Azerbaijan-Russia Interregional Forum.

According to him, in order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to eliminate certain obstacles in mutual trade. "If these obstacles are eliminated, we can increase the turnover by 20-25%," the deputy minister stressed.

He added that the current turnover grew 10% in 1H2018. "We expect this figure to remain until the end of the year," the correspondent of Vestnik Kavkaza cited Talibov as saying.
