Deputy Prime Minister of Azerbaijan Shahin Mustafayev, trend reports.
Mustafayev made the remark on the sidelines of the ceremony of
opening the Khanoba customs post on the Azerbaijan-Russia
border.

transit possibilities of Azerbaijan.
'The government of Azerbaijan gives priority to the development
