Energy must not be used as political tool - Ilham Aliyev
“The Southern Gas Corridor is a huge project of the 21st century. We have created a team consisting of countries and companies. The Advisory Council is important for implementation of this project”, the Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said in the opening of the 4th Global Baku Forum today.

The head of state noted that this project will stretch from Baku to Italy: “On February 29, Azerbaijan was noted as a country implementing this project in the document signed by 11 countries, including EU. I hope that Croatia and Montenegro will also join this project. This is a project of energy diversification and free competition. Our main goal is to implement it as a commercial project. Energy must not be used as a political tool. The political tools must not intervene in the business area. Oil price will not be low for a long time. European demand for natural gas will increase. We must avoid unnecessary competition and see energy and policy separately to achieve a success”.
