At present, one of the issues on the agenda of our cooperation is to achieve the supply of natural gas from Turkey to Nakhchivan.

Axar.az reports the statement came from Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov at the 1st Azerbaijan-Turkey Energy Forum in Baku.

According to the document signed in December last year, a pipeline will be built from Igdir to Nakhchivan with a capacity of 500 million cubic meters of natural gas per year and 1.5 million cubic meters per day.

"This will strengthen energy security by diversifying Nakhchivan's gas supply.

"In general, the natural gas pipeline we will implement together with Turkey will serve to deepen the Azerbaijani-Turkish relations through Nakhchivan," Shahbazov said.
