State Secretary of Romanian Ministry of Economy: Azerbaijan has expressed its intention to participate in Nabucco project

"Kazakhstan has its own gas reserves. It is known that Kazakhstan participates in some projects in Turkmenistan. So, certain gas reserves can be directed to the Nabucco from there," State Secretary of the Romanian Ministry of Economy Tudor Sherban said.

“Moreover, part of those gas volumes, which are under contracts with Russia, can be also supplied to Nabucco. But it will be possible with the consent of all parties. The recent visit of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to Turkey encourages on this regards,” he said.

"As Romania is involved in Nabucco, I think that it will be possible to agree in coordination with other partners given other projects which Russia promotes in our region (the Balkans)," he added.

“Azerbaijan is important partner for us in the Caspian region. It is our reliable gas supplier. We know that Azerbaijan has expressed its intention to participate with its gas in the Nabucco project. We welcome and fully support this decision. Moreover, Azerbaijan has strategically important location in the junction of transportation routes,” he said.

I would like to inform that Romania has plans to build a new terminal in Constanta for liquefied gas storage, he said.
