Azerbaijan imports agricultural products from Artsakh and Armenia through the territory of Georgia, Azerbaijani economist Vahida Maherramova announced, Panorama.am reports, citing Rusarminfo.

As the source notes, he assured that the majority of the potatoes imported by Azerbaijan from Georgia are Armenian.

“The agriculture market of Georgia imports not only potatoes from Armenia, but also livestock, fruit, especially apricots,” the economist said.

The Azerbaijani economist noted that in 2016 the farms engaged in animal husbandry in Nagorno-Karabakh exported 700 thousand heads of cattle to Georgia, some part of which later appeared in Azerbaijan under the Georgian name.

According to the source, the economist noted that unlike the Azerbaijani agricultural products, the Armenian products are of higher quality and organic. 

“In case a peace agreement is reached, Azerbaijan can buy quality products at lower costs, instead of importing them via Georgia,” the source notes.
