The head of the Rosselkhoznadzor Sergey Dankvert said that Azerbaijan suspects Azerbaijan of re-export of the Turkish fruits and vegetables to Russia, despite Moscow's embargo. "During the inspection the fulfillment of obligations by Azerbaijan and Iran to prevent the export of plant products from Turkey, we found that in January Azerbaijan increased deliveries of tomatoes to Russia five times," said Dankvert.
Rosselkhoznadzor, he said, "does not understand" how Azerbaijan could so dramatically increase the supply of greenhouse tomatoes. In the phytosanitary certificates Azerbaijani Service confirms that the product have the Azerbaijani origin. However, Rosselkhoznadzor is not so sure, and sent a letter to Baku on this occasion. Dankvert did not exclude out that Russian inspectors would have to go to Azerbaijan to check exactly where the tomatoes for export to Russia are grown, and to block illegal re-export channel.
