BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 26. Over the years,
the Southern Gas Corridor project has made a substantial
contribution to the energy security of multiple countries,
Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov said at a press
conference reviewing the results of 2025, Trend reports.
The minister noted that in 2025, Azerbaijani companies made
significant investments in several countries.
“The United Arab Emirates (UAE), Israel, Türkiye, and Uzbekistan
are examples of these countries. These investments will add new
dimensions to Azerbaijan’s energy diplomacy,” he added.
The Southern Gas Corridor (SGC) is a massive, multi-pipeline
project delivering natural gas from Azerbaijan's Caspian Sea fields
(mainly Shah Deniz) to Europe, aiming to diversify Europe's energy
supply, reduce reliance on single sources (like Russia), and
enhance energy security. This 3,500 km system includes the South
Caucasus Pipeline (SCPX), the Trans-Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP)
through Turkey, and the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) to Southern
Europe. It began sending gas to Turkey in 2018 and to Europe by
late 2020, connecting the Caspian region to Southeastern
Europe.
