Baku, Azerbaijan, May 26
Trend:
Azerbaijan plays a key role in the Southern Gas Corridor project, since no gas from Azerbaijan means no project, said Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov.
"This would be the biggest project discussed by the European Commission," he said.
The minister said that the official laying was already held, the first stone was laid, the opening was in Kars (Turkey), and the gas should reach Turkey's territory in 2018.
The 'Southern Gas Corridor' envisages the delivery of gas from Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz gas and condensate field to Europe.
The gas to be produced as part of the second stage of the field's development will be exported to Turkey and European markets through the expansion of the South Caucasus Pipeline and the construction of Trans Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) and the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP).
