TAP important for entire Europe – Italian Premiere
The Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP), which will allow direct sales
of Azerbaijani gas to Europe, is important not only for Italy but
for Europe as well, Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta said at a
press conference in Baku on Aug. 11.
"We have started good cooperation with Greek and Albanian
governments, and of course, Turkey. I am glad to be here and thanks
to Azerbaijan for the commercial and industrial choice it has
made," Letta said.
Letta further spoke on the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict, noting that status quo is not an option.
"Italy strongly supports the activity of OSCE Minsk Group
co-chairs. We are convinced that long-term conflicts serves
nobody's interests," Letta noted.
He said that Italy will be a country really engaged in finding an
international based solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
"It is impossible to find unilateral solutions to the Nagorno
-Karabakh conflict. It is necessary to have an international based
solution," Letta said.
He stressed that Italy will lead the European Union next year in
the second semester. "We will work hard on finding new solutions at
international level," Letta said.
