“The Trans-Anatolian natural gas pipeline (TANAP) will be significant part of “South” corridor”, the US Department of State official said.
Thus, the United States government demonstrated its support for the inter-governmental agreement signed between Turkey and Azerbaijan on natural gas pipeline. The diplomat said his government backs the agreement on the South corridor to strengthen the ties between Azerbaijan exporting natural gas to Europe and the Euro-Atlantic communities. ”We work together with Azerbaijan on energy security which is of strategic interest for both countries”, he noted. “Our cooperation will strengthen sovereignty and independence of Azerbaijan, as well as provide Europe with diverse energy sources”.
According to the Department of State official, the natural gas of Azerbaijan’s Shadeniz deposit will make up the major part of the South corridor, and the Trans-Anatolian pipeline will be the significant element of this corridor to pass via Turkey and thus, diversify gas export routes from the Caspian basin.
