To him,, Azerbaijan has not received complaints from Israel in connection with the purchase and sale of natural gas. He noted that the implementation of this idea requires a gas pipeline from Turkey to Syria: â€œI do not think that the political situation in Syria has a positive impact on the economic situation and the completion of a gas pipeline between the two countries in the near future is unlikelyâ€.

It should be noted that Israel previously imported natural gas from Egypt. However, in August, Egypt has stopped exporting gas to Israel because of the events on the Egyptian-Israeli border.

Remind that, according to document, signed by the sides for 20 years, Israel has imported natural gas from Egypt since 2005. Egypt satisfied 45% of Israeli need for gas.
