Mr.Kamishev said that trade turnover between the two countries made up $35 million in 2006, and now trade turnover during five months of this year increased. The main growth occurred on the account of establishment of fields of assembling Belarus tractors and lorries in Ganja, buying road equipment from Belarus.
