/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In Ceyhan, a town in the Mediterranean coast of
Turkey, the opening ceremony of Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline
will be held.
The pipeline is considered to be a strategically important corridor,
joining Europe, South Caucasus and Central Asia. Presidents of Turkey,
Azerbaijan, Georgia and Kazakhstan will participate in the ceremony.
The 1776-km pipeline passes through territories of three countries -
Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. 50 million tons of Caspian oil can
be pumped via it to world markets.
Ankara hoped George Bush and Tony Blair would arrive for the opening
ceremony, but they did not. These leaders already have meetings within
G8 summit in St. Petersburg.
Representatives of 32 countries will go to the terminal, named after
late Azeri President Heydar Aliyev. The Presidents will arrive in
Injirlik US military air base nearby. Roads to Ceyhan are taken under
special control, BBC reports.
