Azerbaijan speaks for local gas export though Georgia territory
Azerbaijan speaks for local gas export though Georgia and Black Sea shore to European market, Azeri President Ilham Aliyev stated.

"Azerbaijan agrees with the indicated gas transportation routes, still the matter needs to be seriously investigated," Aliyev said at Cabinet council sitting.

According to him, currently Azerbaijan studies different transportation routes for Azeri gas supply to world market, seeking to expand its possibilities. "The existence of 3 oil lines expands our possibilities," Azeri leader emphasized.


The President also noted that possibilities to lay the third gas line from Black Sea shore should be seriously analyzed, adding that the issue was discussed during his visit to Romania and the discussions will be continued, Novosti Azerbaijan reported.
