The construction of the TANAP gas pipeline may be completed earlier than the initially agreed period of time, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said at a joint press conference with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev after the fifth meeting of the high-level Turkish-Azerbaijani Strategic Cooperation Council.
"TANAP is the most important project with Azerbaijan. We are working hard to complete it ahead of schedule,'' RIA Novosti cites him as saying.
