He said Ukraine was interested in establishing good relations with SOCAR. He said 5 million tones of oil might be brought to Ukraine within the framework of the project. But the implementation of the project delays as Odessa-Brodi pipeline does not run in obverse regime. Bogdan Sokolovsky said one of the interesting projects for Ukraine was the construction of the plant processing 8-10 million tones of oil per year. No decision has been made whether the plant will be a joint venture or will belong to one of the states. Sokolovsky said it was a very interesting project and was of economic importance for both Ukraine and Azerbaijan. Ukrainian Presidentâ€™s special representative considers that SOCAR may be one of the most important players in the oil market of the world.
