On the sidelines of the 12th Ministerial Meeting of the Southern Gas Corridor Advisory Council and the 4th Ministerial Meeting of the Green Energy Advisory Council held in Baku, Türkiye’s Deputy Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Zafer Demircan told Trend that Azerbaijan and Türkiye continue to expand cooperation in the energy sector through the implementation of major regional and international projects.
"Cooperation, particularly in the energy sector, should remain a priority. Such models of regional cooperation can serve as successful examples of how countries can strengthen energy security. At today’s meeting, representatives from many countries will exchange views on further developing cooperation and discuss projects that can be jointly implemented," he said.
Demircan emphasized that Türkiye intends to play an active and effective role in such regional initiatives.
"This role will not be limited to the gas sector. Türkiye will also become an important participant in regional electricity projects in the future. Azerbaijan and Türkiye have already jointly developed and successfully implemented numerous large-scale projects. This cooperation continues, and new initiatives will follow.
The experience gained and the strong knowledge base built through previous cooperation provide a solid foundation for future projects. We believe that all regional and international initiatives involving Azerbaijan and Türkiye will be successful. The experience accumulated in the gas sector can also be leveraged at a new stage of cooperation in the field of renewable energy," the deputy minister said.
