AzerNews: TAP to increase Azerbaijan’s role in Italian energy market
Azerbaijan will play a larger role in the Italian energy market in future, as the construction of Trans Adriatic Pipeline AG (TAP) is set to bring Azerbaijani gas to the country.
Matteo Verda, a researcher at the Italian Institute for International Political Studies (ISPI - Milan) made the remark in an interview with Day.Az website commenting on the role and place of Azerbaijan in the Italian policy.
Verda said since the commissioning of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline, Azerbaijan has been one of the most important oil suppliers of the Italian market, adding that due to the nature of the international oil market, this relevant commercial relation was developed on purely economic basis.
