“The agreement signed today contributes to the delivery of Azerbaijan's energy resources, primarily natural gas to Türkiye, to European markets through Türkiye, as well as to the supply of resources in Central Asia to the Turkish market and from there to the world market through Azerbaijan,” Azerbaijan's Economy Minister Mikayil Jabbarov said at the signing ceremony of the "Türkiye-Azerbaijan natural gas cooperation agreement" held in Istanbul today.

According to him, the Azerbaijan-Türkiye partnership contributes positively to the energy security, development and stability of many countries in the region:

"The relations between Türkiye and Azerbaijan have no match. This friendship, brotherhood is a relationship of unity in all matters. It is very nice that our cooperation in the field of energy is one of the pillars of this friendship and brotherhood. This partnership is very beneficial for both Türkiye and Azerbaijan. However, its benefits are not limited to our two countries. It also contributes positively to the energy security, development and sustainability of many countries in the region."

Jabbarov recalled that the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline connected not only Azerbaijan and Türkiye, but in a broader sense also the brotherly Turkic states from Central Asia were involved in this project and their energy resources were transported through this project, which was another manifestation of the unity of the Turkic world.

"This once again shows that the policy implemented by our leaders is not limited to one day and economic projects that bring short-term benefits. On the contrary, it creates a basis for us to implement long-term and economically and politically meaningful projects," the minister said.

Jabbarov expressed his gratitude to everyone who contributed to the implementation of these projects and said that today Azerbaijan supplies many regional states with many energy resources: "As a result of joint cooperation, we contribute to the energy security of Europe. Azerbaijan-Türkiye cooperation is manifested as partners who adhere to very stable agreements and clearly fulfill their contractual obligations despite the upheavals in the world markets. Because this is one of the rare cases in the world."
