“After the start of the Russian-Ukrainian war, we received appeals from more than 10 countries that buy gas from us today and want additional supplies, and from countries that have never bought gas from us, but want to connect to this program. Naturally, the role of Azerbaijan is increasing here, and we, of course, need to use this. ” This was stated by President Ilham Aliyev in an interview with Azerbaijani television channels.
“We have never turned our policy in the field of gas and oil into the main factor of the general political context, because we believe that the policy is separate, and this is separate. However, now that the energy policy in the world has completely merged with the general geopolitical situation, to deny the world And this factor is impossible. Of course, our economic and political significance is growing, and if we look at the gas pipelines that feed Europe, we will see that there are not so many of them. Since existing suppliers simply increase gas production, because there is great demand in Europe . Azerbaijan is the only one among the new suppliers, ”said the head of state.
Having emphasized that we are actively cooperating with the European Union not only in the energy sector, but also in all areas, President Ilham Aliyev noted that attention is focused on Azerbaijan: “Of course, we are aware of our responsibility and try to become a reliable partner for new partners “.
