Azerbaijan, Baku / Trend corr.S.Aliyev / Rashid Javanshir, Vice President of BP Azerbaijan for operations on land, stated that the partners of the Azerbaijan International Operating Company made the decision to refuse operations on the Baku-Novorossiysk pipeline.
Presently, the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) transports oil through this pipeline. SOCAR will operate the pipeline in the near future.
"We are now working with SOCAR regarding this issue," R.Javanshir said.
The Azerbaijan International Operating Company does not need the pipeline any more due to the presence of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline.
