Parviz Shakhbazov: 53 mln tons of oil delivered via BTC pipeline in two years

Nearly 53 million tons of Azerbaijani, Kazakh, and Turkmen oil have been delivered via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline over the past two years, Azerbaijani Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov said.

During this period, Türkiye was supplied with 18.7 billion cubic meters of gas, while European countries received 24.6 billion cubic meters.

"Compared to last year, gas supplies to Hungary have increased more than sevenfold this year. There is intensive cooperation between our countries in the supply of oil and petrochemical products," Parviz Shahbazov said.

He also pointed out that the development of the OTS is a key strategic priority for Azerbaijan. According to him, last year, Azerbaijan's trade turnover with CIS member and observer states exceeded $7.3 billion.
