Azerbaijan’s agriculture expands role in non‑oil exports

Azerbaijan’s agricultural sector, particularly fruit and vegetable production, has demonstrated remarkable progress in recent years. This branch of the economy is steadily increasing its importance within the country’s non‑oil exports, reflecting both rising production capacity and growing competitiveness in international markets. According to official data from the State Customs Committee, between January and November 2025 Azerbaijan exported 762,300 tons of fruits and vegetables. The total value of these exports reached 807.5 million US dollars. Compared with the same period of 2024, this represents a 25 percent increase in volume and a 28.6 percent rise in value. For reference, in the first eleven months of 2024, exports amounted to 610,000 tons worth 628 million dollars.

Azerbaijan’s post-war reality versus European Parliament’s narrative [OPINION]

In 2020, following the wise decision of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, the Great Leader, President Ilham Aliyev—a decision grounded in international law and principles—Azerbaijan liberated its territories that had been under occupation by neighboring Armenia since the early 1990s as a result of the Second Garabagh (Patriotic) War. Thus, by single-handedly enforcing the well-known four resolutions adopted by the United Nations Security Council, our country put an end to an injustice that had lasted for 30 years.

How diaspora politics in Washington distort justice in South Caucasus [OPINION]

There is something strikingly familiar about the latest legislative initiative introduced by Representatives Gus Bilirakis and Frank Pallone. Once again, a pair of United States lawmakers has placed itself at the centre of a deeply polarised foreign conflict, not by promoting balance or legal clarity, but by recycling talking points carefully curated by the Armenian diaspora lobby in Washington.
