30 March 2007 [09:23] - TODAY.AZ
Azerbaijan is interested in implementation of the Nabucco pipeline and is ready to be a transit player, said the country's industry and energy minister Natig Aliyev.

"The pipeline will deliver 30 billion cubic meters of gas annually to Europe and Azerbaijan will produce between 16 billion and 20 billion cubic meters of gas in 2015. Despite our efforts, the project doesn't depend on resources of a country. I think Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan should express their stance and decision on the project. Azerbaijan is ready to create all opportunities and improve infrastructure," he noted.

He added that Azerbaijan will resume exporting oil via Baku-Supsa by May. At present there is some teething troubles in Georgian part of the pipeline, APA-Economics reports.
