“On October 30, the first train will go along Baku-Tbilisi-Kars, but regular cargo and passenger traffic will begin in 2018. Moreover, in the first half of next year, in March or April, Turkey will receive natural gas from Azerbaijan through Georgia,” said Gumrukcu.
At the first stage, it will be possible to obtain six billion cubic meters of natural gas per year, he noted adding that when the construction of the Trans-Anatolian and Trans-Adriatic pipelines is completed, this volume will reach 16 billion.
“We built Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan and Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum. And now our friendship and strategic partnership are rising to such a level that they will benefit both us and the whole world,” added the envoy.
