Ankara: Turkiye and Azerbaijan have signed a deal to bolster cooperation in the energy sector, under which Azerbaijan will supply 33 billion cubic meters of natural gas to Turkiye.
Turkish Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar clarified that the deal stipulates the delivery of 33 billion cubic meters of gas to Turkiye starting in 2029 over a 15-year period, at a rate of 2.25 billion cubic meters annually, sourced from the Absheron gas field in Azerbaijan.
Bayraktar added that the agreed volume of natural gas will be transported from Azerbaijan to Turkish territory via a pipeline traversing the Caspian Sea, reflecting an enduring commitment to deepening bilateral energy cooperation.
In March 2025, Bayraktar announced the commissioning of the Turkiye-Azerbaijan gas pipeline, regarded as one of the key avenues of bilateral cooperation in the energy domain, stretching approximately 80 kilometers.
