Azerbaijan will increase gas supplies to Turkey, deputy head of the public relations and events department at Azerbaijan's state oil company SOCAR Ibrahim Ahmadov said.
Amid technical problems in gas transportation from Iran to Turkey, the country has applied to Azerbaijan Gas Supply Company Limited (AGSC) in order to overcome the temporary shortage.
"AGSC, which represents the Shah Deniz consortium, has already responded to Turkey's request and mobilizing the existing potential, the company will be increasing natural gas exports from Azerbaijan to Turkey in line with the emerging demand," he said.
According to Ahmadov, this step will make another important contribution to the development of bilateral friendly and fraternal relations between Baku and Ankara.
