“For us, the Italian market is of primary importance for both oil and gas. Last year, Azerbaijan exported 25 billion cubic metres of natural gas, of which 9.5 billion were exported to the Italian market,” the president said.
He added that discussions are under way to increase this volume. “For this, it is necessary to expand the TAP project, which is an integral part of the Southern Gas Corridor. It has already been expanded to a certain degree, but this process is ongoing.”
