Azerbaijan, Baku, August 25 / Trend U. Ismayilova /

There are no any limitations for entry or departure of both people and vehicles at Azerbaijani-Russian check-point of Samur, a source in check-point situated in Azerbaijani Khachmaz region said.

"A period of border crossing takes 15 minutes instead of 5 minutes because Russia changed software at customs check-point of Yarag-Gazmalar," a source said.

He said that difference in several minutes periodically creates slight jams in check-points which are rapidly removed.

Russia renewed server two week ago. But it is unknown when operations will complete, a source said.

According to the Azerbaijani state statistical committee, foreign trade turnover hit $579.151 million between Azerbaijan and Russia in January-May. Export operations were made to the amount of $193.34 million but import ones - $385.7 million.

About 79,400 tons of freight was transported via Azerbaijan to Russia.
