Azerbaijan Imposes Restrictions on Import of Poultry Products from Iran
Azerbaijan has introduced temporary restrictions on the import of live chickens and poultry products from Iran. The decision of the State Service of Veterinary Control at the Ministry of Agriculture was made in connection with the outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N8) on two breeding farms near the city of Tehran.
In connection with the situation, other food products from Iran will be admitted to the customs border of Azerbaijan in the presence of the certificate of the epizootic situation in the region and the safety of the food products.
According to the State Customs Committee, in the first nine months of 2016 Azerbaijan purchased 216,000 breeding eggs and 651,600 commodity eggs from Iran. In addition, 950,000 chickens were delivered from that country. -----08D

Azerbaijan's financial standing continues to strengthen as the country's foreign currency reserves have surged to $71 billion as of January 1, 2025, according to the Ministry of Finance. This figure, which includes reserves held by the State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan (SOFAZ) and the Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA), far exceeds the nation's external debt, which stands at a fraction of its reserves, specifically nearly 14 times less. This robust reserve position reflects Azerbaijan's fiscal stability and the government’s strategic economic management.
