The implementation of the Southern Gas Corridor project worth $45 billion will bring stability to the region, said Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev at the joint press conference with Turkish PM Binali Yildirim in Baku June 3.

Azerbaijan and Turkey are jointly implementing large projects, said Ilham Aliyev.

“If the two countries didn’t assume responsibility for the implementation of TANAP, the issue of energy would have been the topic of discussion,” he noted.

President Aliyev stressed that Azerbaijan-Turkey joint projects strengthen the region.

“We will strengthen our unity. Turkey's strength is our strength,” he added.
