Azer News: U.S. neutral on pipeline project to supply Azerbaijani gas to Europe

Baku is a very important energy importer for Europe's energy diversification and plays a key role for its energy stability by exporting Azerbaijani gas to European markets.

Azerbaijan plays an important role in increasing alternative supplies for the European countries, U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan Richard Morningstar said during his speech at a NATO partnership conference "Emerging Security Challenges: Enhancing Energy Security in the XXI Century" opened in Baku on May 22.
