Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline has finally come true. Yet by the end of May, 350 KT of Azeri oil will be loaded to tankers in port Ceyhan, reportedly said Hilmi Guler, Turkish Minister of Power Engineering and Natural Resources.

В"We should also mention Shah Deniz projectВ", - Guler said, adding that Azeri gas, pumped through South Caucasus Pipeline (SCP), is transferred through Georgia and Turkey to Greece and Italy. В"We plan to complete the project by the end of 2006В", - he said.

Minister said if in XX century oil was the leader, in XXI century it will be replaced by natural gas. В"70 percent of worlds reserves of power carriers are located east of Turkey, which result in inclusion of transit factor in Ankaras policy as a priority-driven issue for the nearest future.
