Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev has stated that his country is ready to export natural gas to Bulgaria and other EU countries.

Aliyev, speaking at a domestic socio-economic cabinet meeting, said that “Azerbaijan is ready to export its gas to the European Union,” and that Greece, Bulgaria, Italy, Romania, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Switzerland are among the potential partners, apa.az reported.

He blamed Turkey transit problems for not being ready to supply the EU with gas until now. Aliyev added; “It is no secret that for many years Azerbaijan has been selling gas to Turkey for one third, 30% of the market price. Which country sells its natural resources, especially under the present circumstances, for 30% of the market price and is satisfied with it?”

Aliyev concluded that EU countries including Bulgaria are ready to buy Azerbaijan's gas at the market price.
