Azerbaijan To Send Gas to Syria Through Turkey Annually

SOCAR Vice President Elshad Nasirov was speaking in southern Turkey, close to the Syrian border, as Turkey and Azerbaijan launched natural gas exports to Syria. The launch was marked at a ceremony in the city of Kilis, attended by ministers and other officials from Azerbaijan, Turkey, Syria and Qatar.

Azerbaijan’s Economy Minister Mikayil Jabbarov said the project followed agreements in April and July between Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev and Syria’s transitional ruler Ahmad Jolani.

Gas would be transported through Turkish territory to Syria under a coordinated arrangement, Jabbarov said.

“By launching gas exports to Syria, Azerbaijan has demonstrated that it is capable of exporting gas not only to the West, but also to the East and the South,” he said at the event.

Turkish Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said deliveries were expected to reach around 6 million bcm per day, with potential to supply up to 2 billion bcm annually in the first phase.

The gas would be used to restart power plants in Syria with a combined capacity of 1,200 megawatts, Bayraktar said.
