Elin Suleymanov, Azerbaijan's Ambassador in Washington D.C, says he's
a busy man these days lobbying the U.S. government to back the TANAP `
the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline; a $7 billion project to
transport Caspian gas to western Turkey and possibly beyond.
`You cannot believe how I am busy these days,' Suleymanov said in a
recent interview, adding that he was meeting with key figures across
the U.S. to convince them that the project is the `new
Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan' pipeline.
Suleymanov noted that what makes TANAP especially important is that no
one is discussing the Nabucco pipeline any longer.
TANAP's construction is planned to begin in 2014 and to be completed
by 2018. The project was announced last November in Istanbul. Four
months ago, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip ErdoÄ?an and
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev signed an agreement on the
pipeline.
