/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz called on
Azarbaijan, which announced it would raise the price of natural gas
sold to Turkey in reprisal for recent Turkey-Armenian rapprochement
not to entangle energy projects with politics.
Yildiz commented on Turkey Azerbaijan relations at the press
conference held Monday following the signing of MoU on Samsun-Ceyhan
Pipeline between Turkey, Italy and Russia in Milan. "We will never
want Azerbaijan to loose money. The talks for revision of prices were
deadlocked for a brief period. We raised our offer and talks continue,"
said Yildiz.
Yildiz referred to Aliyev's remarks suggesting Turkey ought to cut
transit fees for Azerbaijani gas and said Aliyev was misinformed on
this issue too.
"Turkey has always looked out for our ally and brother Azerbaijan. It
is a known fact that Turkey charges lower transit fees for Azerbaijani
gas, compared to other countries" said Yildiz reassuring once more
that Turkey would not make agreements with Armenia that would hurt
Azerbaijan, reported Anatolian news agency.
