Oil and gas, trasport, and investment projects that were once carried out successfully, are now closely connecting our peoples. This trilateral format is globally interesting. This is a unique format. Because in this format, three independent countries have established modern, cultural and equal relations meeting our peoples’ interests based on the mutual interest and respect. Our relations have been built upon partnership. And each country greatly benefits from this partnership.

President noted that the energy issue is the most important issue in the world today: “These three countries fully provide their energy security: And this is the good result of our cooperation. These three countries will ensure energy security of Europe. Today’s negotiations and discussions are greatly important for Europe. “Shahdeniz 2” project has started.
