Gas supplies resumed from Azerbaijan to Turkey

Azerbaijani gas to Turkey supplied via the South Caucasus gas pipeline (Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum) have been totally resumed, the pipeline's operator BP told Trend on Monday.

"Gas supplied via the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum gas pipeline was fully restored," a BP spokesperson said. "It is now working normally."

Earlier, gas supplies from Azerbaijan to Turkey were suspended due to an explosion on the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum gas pipeline on May 29 in the city of Kars. The cause of the explosion is still unknown. However, the Botas company said that technical work was carried out at this section of the gas pipeline, which could have led to the subsequent explosion.
