    Construction of Azerbaijani-Turkish gas project set to begin

    ISTANBUL - 03.09.2014 18:46:31

    The construction of the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP),
    which is supposed to carry Azerbaijani gas from Azerbaijan to Turkey,
    will be launched on Sept. 20 of this year, according to an
    announcement by President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄ?an.

    ErdoÄ?an met with his Azerbaijani counterpart, President Ilham Aliyev,
    in the capital Baku, on his second trip abroad as president on
    Wednesday. Speaking at a joint press conference with Aliyev, ErdoÄ?an
    highlighted the importance of the project, the start date of which he
    announced would be Sept. 20. ErdoÄ?an also said the meeting dealt with
    bilateral negotiations on other projects.

    ErdoÄ?an mentioned the Nagorno-Karabakh problem in the meeting, saying
    that both sides discussed the steps that can be taken on the problem.
    The newly elected president stated that the pipeline, which is to be
    established to supply Azerbaijani gas to Europe via Turkey, is vital
    with regards to the Azerbaijani position in the international energy
    industry.

    ErdoÄ?an said the groundbreaking ceremony will take place on Sept. 20
    with international representatives in attendance.

    In December 2013, Azerbaijan and Turkey signed a memorandum of
    understanding to establish a consortium to build the TANAP project.
