Washington backs TANAP project

Official Washington fully backs the “TransCaspian gas pipeline” project, the US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Lynne Tracy said at the 17th Turkmenistan Oil & Gas Conference.

Lynne Tracy added that the US fully supports the construction of the Trans-Anatolian gas pipeline (TANAP): “In case Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan give consent, no country can forbid construction of the pipeline under the Caspian Sea.”

Mr. Tracy noted that Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and the European Union continue negotiations on agreement on the construction of the TransCaspian gas pipeline and export of the Turkmen gas to Europe.
