“The cooperation between the two countries in the energy sector holds special importance not only for our countries but also for a broader and larger geography,” President Ilham Aliyev said during a joint press conference with Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze.

The head of state noted: "The oil and gas projects we are jointly implementing today form the basis of energy security for many countries. Through Georgia’s transit, Azerbaijan currently exports natural gas to 11 countries, and exports are increasing year by year."
