/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey will pay Azerbaijan money difference
accumulated over the past two years from gas sale at $ 120/1 cubic
meter, said Buyuk Turk Advisor to Turkish Ambassador in Azerbaijan.
Demand for receiving amount equal to international gas price (which is
3 times more) was made by Azeri President Ilham Aliyev. Thereafter
Turkish Premier Erdogan expressed his country's willingness to
reimburse Azerbaijan. The difference makes up $ 1 billion 131 million.
"We'll pay to the last penny," Turk said, adding at the same time
that Azerbaijani government has not returned loan to Turkish Eksimbank
despite continuing negotiations over the issue.
"A delegation from Turkish Ministry of Finance will leave Azerbaijan
for coordinating the issue. There are 654 Turkish-based Azerbaijani
companies which earn money for Azeri nation after all. Azerbaijan sells
row cotton to the world although Turkish investors might build textile
plants in Azerbaijan to be able to export cloth. Turkish entrepreneurs
can do that too, but it is necessary to create favorable economic
conditions for that," Novosti-Azerbaijan quotes advisor as saying.
