As EU member Bulgaria should hurry the European structures to be more
active in Nabucco project implementation, Turkish Hurriyet quotes
Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

In the course of joint press conference with his Bulgarian counterpart
Boiko Borisov Turkish Prime Minister stated: `Bulgaria and Turkey are
the countries that should continue to adhere to implementation of
Nabucco project’, adding that both countries’ authorities realize
significance of the project from European energy security viewpoint.

`The project implementation should be hurried and Bulgaria, as Nabucco
member should hasten European structures to be more active in this
process. I personally asked Mr. Borisov to assist and he promised to
make every effort on the matter,’ Erdogan outlined.

In his recent interview with Bloomberg, Azerbaijani President Ilham
Aliyev said that there are many issues in Nabucco project
implementation, that should be addressed for a while.

According to him, a number of states join his pontential rival –
Russian South Stream project, creating uncertainty.
