BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 10. Azerbaijan
attaches particular importance to developing economic ties with
Turkmenistan, specifically to strengthening trade cooperation in
non-oil and gas products and increasing trade volume, the member of
the Azerbaijani Parliament’s Committee on Economic Policy,
Industry, and Entrepreneurship, Vugar Bayramov, told Trend.


The MP noted that in his speech at the 8th Consultative Meeting
of the Heads of State of Azerbaijan and Central Asia, the President
of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, highlighted the
development of our country’s economic relations with Central Asian
states, including Turkmenistan.


According to him, in 2025, trade turnover between Azerbaijan and
Turkmenistan amounted to $208 million. During this period,
Azerbaijan imported $114.5 million worth of goods from
Turkmenistan, while exports to that brotherly country totaled $63.8
million.


Bayramov noted that last year, Azerbaijan conducted trade with
Turkmenistan involving 518 types of products.


According to the MP, energy resources account for the bulk of
imports from Turkmenistan. For example, in 2025, Azerbaijan
imported $36.4 million worth of natural gas, $12.5 million worth of
jet fuel, and $7.7 million worth of heavy distillates or gas oils
for other purposes from its sister country.


In addition, Azerbaijan imported $7.4 million worth of liquid
fuel for specific technological processes and chemical
transformations, $2.3 million worth of mineral or chemical nitrogen
fertilizers, and $1.4 million worth of lubricants for specific
technological processes and chemical transformations. Other goods
were also imported from Turkmenistan.







V. Bayramov noted that processed agricultural products
predominate among the goods exported from Azerbaijan to
Turkmenistan.


Thus, last year, Azerbaijan exported to Turkmenistan white sugar
and other chemically pure sucrose worth $22.4 million, products
made of iron or non-alloy steel worth $7.8 million, cotton fiber
worth $3.9 million, ferrous metal structures worth $1.8 million, as
well as oil and other products worth $931,000.


The MP stressed that, as in other brotherly Turkic states, the
top priority is to further increase trade with Turkmenistan.


“The main goal is to strengthen trade cooperation in the non-oil
and gas sector,” V. Bayramov added.
