Azerbaijani gas is enough to be exported to the European countries, Temistokles Demedes, the Greek Ambassador to Azerbaijan, told Trend exclusively. He was commenting possibility of natural gas import to the European region through the Turkey-Greece pipeline.
According to Demedes, the completion of the construction of the gas pipeline, uniting the gas pipelines of Turkey and Greece, is scheduled for
