To chart their own economic course and we have always believed that diversity of energy resources and energy supply is the best thing for the producing countries, the consuming countries and the global market. We have been very close to Azerbaijan for many years on energy projects. The BTC pipeline is a major success. We are looking to move to a next face of Caspian energy development working on delivery on gas to the world market. That was the main purpose of his visitâ€, she said.
