Armenia expects gasoline and diesel prices to decline following an increase in petroleum imports from Azerbaijan, Armenian Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan said.
According to him, significant volumes of Azerbaijani petroleum products are currently being delivered to Armenia by rail, which is already influencing market expectations.
"A price reduction of up to 80 drams (17 rubles) per liter for gasoline and diesel is expected compared to last month's prices," Papoyan said.
He added that fuel retailers in Armenia are also moving toward lower prices.
The PM presented statistics on grain and gasoline imports via rail through Azerbaijan.
"In 2025, 6,580 tons of grain entered Armenia via railway through the territory of Azerbaijan, of which 1,000 tons were Kazakh and 5,580 tons were Russian, as well as 1,210 tons of Azerbaijani gasoline," Papoyan said.
the minister noted that 8,485 tons of Russian grain have entered Armenia via railway through the territory of Azerbaijan, and 4,103 tons are en route.
