The Economy Minister of Georgia Natia Turnava has participated in the 6th ministerial meeting of the Southern Gas Corridor (SGC) advisory council in Baku, Azerbaijan and met with local authorities.
The Southern Gas Corridor is one of the priority energy projects for Georgia as it ensures Azerbaijani gas delivery through Georgia and Turkey to Europe. The gas pipeline will be connected to the Trans –Anatolian (TANAP) and Trans-Adriatic pipelines (TAP), through which gas from the Shah Deniz field will reach the European market, reports Georgia’s Ministry of Economy.
The Southern Gas Corridor (SGC) 6th ministerial meeting was opened by President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev on February 28.
Minister Turnava spoke at the ministerial meeting where she said that before TANAP and TAP projects Georgia’s transit role was only at the regional level, but now it has reached an international level.
Prior to the implementation of the South Gas Corridor project, the transit function of Georgia was only at the regional level, and now we are represented as international players in this field. I am glad that my country has another opportunity to demonstrate its role in this context,” said Turnava.
She said that as the gas quota increased by Georgia's natural gas transit function the county’s population will benefit significantly.
While in Baku Turnava also met with the Economy Minister of Azerbaijan Mikayil Jabbarov. The ministers discussed joint logistical and energy projects.
