Georgian authorities have set very low tariffs for oil transportation from Azerbaijan to Armenia

Georgia has decided to set a symbolic price for the transit of petroleum products from Azerbaijan to Armenia, the country's Ministry of Economy announced. This move follows a one-time free transit of oil in early December 2025, after which standard tariffs were applied.

Transport tariffs were the central topic of talks between Georgian Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Mariam Kvrivishvili and Armenian Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure David Khudatyan in Yerevan. The Armenian minister praised the Georgian government's friendly decision to set a symbolic tariff rate. The Georgian side also presented ambitious plans for transport infrastructure development, which are expected to significantly enhance connectivity between Georgia and Armenia, optimize freight traffic, and establish Tbilisi as a key hub for regional transport flows.
