BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 24. We intend to increase gas exports to world markets, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said making a press statement with Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Garibashvili after viewing the “Heritage of Karabakh Khanate” exhibition at Château Mukhrani in Mtskheta Municipality, Trend reports.
"We are thinking about new projects. We intend to increase gas exports to world markets. This year we will export 22 billion cubic meters and next year this figure will increase even more. The Memorandum on strategic partnership in the field of energy, signed between the European Commission and Azerbaijan in July of this year, indicates that Azerbaijan will double gas exports to Europe in the next five years. At least this is our intention and we have sufficient capabilities to do that. So we plan that Azerbaijan's gas export to Europe alone will reach 20 billion cubic meters in 2027," the head of state said.
