The Turkish energy minister denied on Sunday the news that Azerbaijan had raised the price of natural gas it was selling to Turkey.

Turkey's Energy & Natural Resources Hilmi Guler said that the stories that Azerbaijan had raised the price of natural gas it was selling to Turkey were "not accurate."

"I am having talks with the Azerbaijani executives for two days, and they haven't said such a thing. There is no rise," Guler told reporters.

Guler also said that two countries signed a contract, and it is not possible for Azerbaijan to do so.

Some Turkish newspapers published news stories on Sunday that Azerbaijan had raised the price of natural gas it was selling to Turkey as a reaction to Turkey's rapprochement with Armenia, Anatolian News Agency reported.
