BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 10. Azerbaijan’s
Minister of Energy, Parviz Shahbazov, met with Türkiye’s Minister
of Energy and Natural Resources, Alparslan Bayraktar, within the
framework of the 5th meeting of energy ministers of the
Organization of Turkic States (OTS) in Istanbul, Trend reports via the
country's Energy Ministry.
At the meeting, the parties expressed satisfaction with the
progress of energy cooperation over the past year. They discussed
the current state of collaboration in hydrocarbons, renewable
energy, and regional energy connectivity projects. It was
highlighted that Azerbaijan had exported 594 million kWh of
electricity to Türkiye during the first ten months of the year.
In light of the increasing demand for electricity in Türkiye,
the importance of establishing electricity interconnectors between
the two countries was emphasized. In this regard, the potential
implementation of the Azerbaijan (Nakhchivan)-Türkiye Energy Hub
project was explored, both through direct connections from
Nakhchivan and via the Zangezur Corridor.
Moreover, opportunities for further collaboration with Türkiye
under the framework of the “Central Asia-Azerbaijan Green Energy
Corridor” were assessed. These initiatives are anticipated to
significantly enhance energy ties within the OTS framework.
