DAVOS, Switzerland, January 20. Azerbaijan is
the only country in the Southern Caucasus which owns energy
resources and exports them to other countries of the Southern
Caucasus. Other countries of the region – for many years Georgia,
and now Armenia – import energy resources from Azerbaijan. Our
energy cooperation with Europe and the European Union is growing.
We already export natural gas to 16 countries, 10 of which are
members of the European Union. By the geographical coverage of
pipeline gas, Azerbaijan ranks first in the world, President Ilham
Aliyev said during an interview with Euronews television in Davos on January
20, Trend
reports.
The head of state noted that Azerbaijan has natural resources, a
transport system, and modern pipelines: “We have good relations
with many European countries, and this allows them to strengthen
their energy security. For us, this is an opportunity to sell our
resources in the premium market. Although we do not sell gas only
to Europe, we have recently started exporting it to Syria as well.
However, in terms of price, the best market is, of course, the
European market.”
