Azerbaijan is interested in the Belarusian energy market, Foreign
Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said in an interview with the Belarusian
First Television Channel, Belta news agency reported.
"We always stand for diversifying energy partners in our policy," he said. "When we accessed the Mediterranean Sea with the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, it was the first phase in our energy options. First, we went to the Black Sea, and then the Mediterranean Sea.
Mammadyarov said there are many promising projects for entering the Baltic Sea as well.
"There are many possibilities on how to implement this. Naturally, we are interested in Belarus, which is located in the middle of the route between the Black and Baltic Seas. But the question should first be viewed from the standpoint of commerce."*
