The Turkish energy minister denied on Sunday the news that Azerbaijan
had raised the price of natural gas it was selling to Turkey.
Turkey’s Energy & Natural Resources Hilmi Guler said that the stories
that Azerbaijan had raised the price of natural gas it was selling
to Turkey were "not accurate."
"I am having talks with the Azerbaijani executives for two days,
and they haven’t said such a thing. There is no rise," Guler told
reporters.
Guler also said that two countries signed a contract, and it is not
possible for Azerbaijan to do so.
Some Turkish newspapers published news stories on Sunday that
Azerbaijan had raised the price of natural gas it was selling to Turkey
as a reaction to Turkey’s rapprochement with Armenia, Anatolian News
Agency reported.
