“Realization of this project is possible with the international support. From this viewpoint, the role and support of the US is commendable,” the minister added.
In his turn, Hochstein said the Southern Gas Corridor is important not only for Azerbaijan, but also even more for Europe, and the project is of strategic importance for the US.
