The Azeri state energy company Socar said it has started talks with the
Greek government on purchasing the country's natural gas grid operator
DESFA, the asset of the national gas firm DEPA, after being the only
bidder in a failed tender for the asset sale, Balkans.com reported.
"The tender procedure on the privatization of DESFA is over and Socar
has started talks with the Greek government," Socar president Rovnag
Abdullayev told reporters on June 15.
"It means that the whole natural gas distribution system of Greece
will be in our hands soon."
Abdullayev said a purchase of Greek assets would "strengthen the
export potential of Socar.", Hurriyet Daily reports.
