Azerbaijan intends to double TANAP gas pipeline capacity - Aliyev

BAKU. Sept 2 (Interfax) - Azerbaijan plans to double the capacity of the Trans-Anatolian gas pipeline, or TANAP, to 32 billion cubic meters per year, said Ilham Aliyev, the country's president.

"We plan to double natural gas export to Europe, and I am confident that we will achieve this. For this, important steps must be taken - political decisions, technical measures and, of course, investments. After all, different segments of the Southern Gas Corridor have different possibilities. The capacity of TANAP is 16 bcm, we plan to increase it to 32 bcm," he said at an international forum in Cernobbio, Italy.
