Turkey has increased the price of gas bought in Azerbaijan within the
framework of the Stage-1 development of the 'Shakh-Deniz' project,
1news.az reports, citing the Turkish newspaper 'Sabakh'. The price for
one thousand cubic meters rose from $120 to $300.
'Shakh-Deniz-2' gas will cost more.
The price for gas transit along the Turkish territory will reach $45,
making the Turkish profit from gas transit $300 million.
Turkish Minister of Energy Taner Yildiz said that Azerbaijani gas from
Shakh-Deniz-2 may become the basis of the Nabucco pipeline and the TGI
pipeline (Turkey-Greece-Italy).
