BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 4. For us, the Italian
market is of primary importance for both oil and gas. Last year,
Azerbaijan exported 25 billion cubic meters of natural gas, of
which 9.5 billion were exported to the Italian market, Azerbaijani
President Ilham Aliyev said during a joint press statement with the President of the Council of
Ministers of Italy Giorgia Meloni, Trend reports.
Stating that discussions are underway today to increase this
volume, the head of state noted: “For this, naturally, it is
necessary to expand the TAP project, which is an integral part of
the Southern Gas Corridor. It has already been expanded to a
certain degree, but this process is ongoing.”
