EU member states to receive Iranian gas through Azerbaijan

The visit of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to Iran is an important event with the background of the current geopolitical situation in the region. Iran’s new President Hassan Rouhani is trying to normalize relations with the US and the EU.

In compliance with this situation Iran and Azerbaijan continue deepening their neighborly relations. Under the circumstances, Azerbaijan might play the role of a bridge between Iran and the west.

Deepening the gap between the west and Russia, the Trans-Caspian gas issue has become very important. Europe is trying to find ways to secure an energy safety. In this context Iranian gas might be transported to Europe through Azerbaijan.
