Thanks to strategic projects such as the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan, Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum, and the Southern Gas Corridor — which connect the Caspian Sea to international energy markets — Azerbaijan today successfully exports oil to 25 countries and natural gas to 12 countries, said Minister of Energy Parviz Shahbazov while delivering speech at the 30th Anniversary “Baku Energy Forum” held in Baku, APA-Economics reports.

The minister emphasizing that last year, more than 75% of Azerbaijan’s oil exports and 51% of its natural gas supply were directed to European countries said that Azerbaijan, which has taken a leading global position in terms of the geographic reach of gas transportation via pipeline in a short time, is now the fourth-largest supplier of pipeline gas to the European Union (EU), accounting for a 7% share.

“This once again confirms that the rational and balanced approach of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, to all types of energy resources — along with his determined policy aimed at developing export infrastructure — has strengthened our country’s strategic position on the modern energy map and shaped a model of reliable energy security in an unstable world,” the minister added.
