"The rich gas resources of Azerbaijan will provide us and our partners at least for 100 years"
Currently, all our efforts are directed to provide the expansion of the South Caucasus Pipeline, connecting us with Georgia, and the construction of TANAP – Trans Anatolian project in time, perhaps earlier, President Ilham Aliyev said Wednesday at the official reception held on the occasion of the country’s national holiday – the Republic Day.

The President noted that on September 20, 2015, the foundation of the Southern Gas Corridor was laid and this date also has a very symbolic meaning: “Following this, the first meeting of the Advisory Council of the Southern Gas Corridor was held in Baku. And in March the foundation of the TANAP project was laid in Turkey.”

The Head of the State expressed his hope that no artificial obstacles to TAP – the Trans Adriatic project will arise: “As if such obstacles appear, in this case, there will not be the winning party, of course. I should also note that the rich gas resources of Azerbaijan will provide us and our partners at least for 100 years. Of course, concrete measures are taken for our market entry. If there is problem with TAP project, then we will export our gas to the Turkish market mainly. Anyway, I should note that we have no concern about the markets. Just all TAP participants should act responsibly and not to create artificial problems. In the future, of course, our strategic goal is the full implementation of the Southern Gas Corridor, together with the development of "Shah Deniz” gas field."
