Azerbaijan is considering the possibility to transport Iranian gas through its territory to Europe, said Azerbaijan’s Deputy Energy Minister Natig Abbasov.
Abbasov made the remarks Aug. 29 at the 2016 Eurasian Conference of the International Association for Energy Economics (IAEE) in Baku.
He noted that it will be possible through Iran’s joining the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) project.
Abbasov didn’t also exclude possibility of transporting Iraqi gas through Azerbaijan to Europe.
TANAP project envisages transportation of gas from Azerbaijan’s Shah Deniz field to the western borders of Turkey. The gas will be delivered to Turkey in 2018, and after completion of the Trans Adriatic Pipeline’s construction, the gas will be delivered to Europe in early 2020.
