Natig Aliyev: "Azerbaijan has not rejected the Nabucco project"

"Azerbaijan has not rejected the Nabucco project. This is a real project and it has future", Azerbaijan’s Minister of Industry and Energy Natig Aliyev told journalists, APA reports.

He said that Nabucco project had become politicized.

"Therefore, there are some difficulties in determining sources for supplying this pipeline with hydrocarbons. That’s why the fate of the project is doubtful. The hydrocarbons of Azerbaijan and Central Asia are the main sources for Nabucco. Azerbaijan can not supply this project only by its own resources," he said.

Natig Aliyev said discussions were being held on Nabucco and added that some issues related to the construction of the pipeline remained open and the issue was being discussed by the sides.
