President Aliyev: Today, Türkiye and Azerbaijan are Implementing Major Projects

Today, Türkiye and Azerbaijan - two brotherly countries - are implementing major projects, Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev said on Wednesday.

The head of state made the remarks at the opening ceremony of the Iğdır-Nakhchivan gas pipeline via video link, The Caspian Post reports, citing AZERTAC.

President Aliyev noted that oil and gas pipeline projects such as Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan, Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum, and TANAP have not only united the two countries but also reshaped Eurasia’s energy map.

The head of state emphasized that today, Azerbaijani gas transported through Türkiye contributes to the energy security of many countries.

"The project we are inaugurating today will ensure Nakhchivan's energy security," he said.

The president emphasized that the gas coming from Azerbaijan, transported through Turkish territory to Nakhchivan, will meet the region's energy needs.

“Our jointly implemented energy projects have also paved the way for the realization of major transportation initiatives,” the head of state said.

"Today, the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway, which connects Türkiye and Azerbaijan, provides significant advantages. This transportation route holds great importance and benefits not only for our countries but also for a wider region, especially in uniting the Turkic world. Of course, the unity and brotherhood between Türkiye and Azerbaijan are a great contribution to the entire Turkic world," President Aliyev added.
