“We fulfill the obligations assigned to us by gas contracts. Azerbaijani gas should be exported to Georgia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Greece and Italy. Thus, along with Turkey, the exporter of our gas is also Italy.” President Ilham Aliyev said this at the International Conference “South Caucasus: Development and Cooperation”.
The head of state emphasized that last year more than 9 billion cubic meters of gas were exported from Azerbaijan to Italy.
“Naturally, we plan to extract gas within the framework of existing contracts providing for a certain specific volume, we do not extract more. But if necessary, if necessary, we must first evaluate the sources, because our production potential is designed for local Consumption and exports. A number of appeals have already received a gas supply. We received appeals not only from Italy, but also of other European countries, ”said President Ilham Aliyev.
