Azerbaijan should sell gas to Turkey at a discount price if Ankara
stops all contacts with Yerevan, MP Gudrat Hasanquliyev said in
parliament today.
'We should sell our gas to fraternal Turkey at discount prices and
ask it to stop air communication with Armenia,' the chairman of the
opposition United People's Front Party, Gudrat Hasanquliyev, said at
a plenary session of the Milli Majlis.
Turkey and Azerbaijan have since autumn been negotiating on the price
of Azerbaijani gas sold to Turkey and the terms for the transit of
gas via Turkey to Europe. Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said
yesterday in Turkey that agreement had been reached on most of the
gas-related issues. In March he had said that political considerations,
and specifically the problem of Armenia, were holding up agreement.
Gudrat Hasanguliyev said 'Turkey should also stop trade relations
with Armenia.'
Hasanquliyev said a law should be adopted, banning foreign companies
from operating in Azerbaijan if they operated in Armenia.
