We need to look to the future because we have discovered new gas deposits, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said in an interview to the Italian La Repubblica newspaper, Trend reports.
“We were concentrated mainly on the completion of the last portion of the Southern Gas Corridor, Trans Adriatic Pipeline. The first gas to Europe started to be transported in the last day of the last year – on December 31. Italy has already started to receive gas from Azerbaijan. As you know, the Southern Gas Corridor will deliver to Italian markets 8, maybe even more, billion cubic meters. So, this task has been completed. Now, we need to look to the future, because we have discovered new gas deposits. From existing gas fields we plan to extract more. Plus, we highly invest now together with foreign investors in renewables,” the head of state said.
