Political matters, among them Turkey’s normalization process with
Armenia, will not be an obstacle for Turkey-Azerbaijan gas talks and
these talks will succeed, Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said,
according to Sabah.

"I think that nothing will hamper a gas agreement to be reached
between us and our brother, Azerbaijan. We made a reasonable offer on
[purchasing] the Shah Deniz gas field," Yildiz said, speaking about
current talks over the second stage of developing the Azerbaijani
gas field.
