Azerbaijani State Oil Company (SOCAR) intends to fully control gas
network of Georgia and participate in the privatization of pipeline
transporting fuel to Armenia, SOCAR President Rovnag Abdullayev said
in an interview with the ANS TV channel.
"The company is holding negotiations with the oil corporation of
Georgia. We are ready to purchase the gas pipeline before announcing
its privatizagtioon or trust management," he said.
He recalled that the oil company had already invested over $500 m
in the neighboring state. The President stated that management of
Georgia's gas network, except for Tbilisi, is trusted to the State
Oil Company.
Under decision of the Georgian leadership, section of a pipeline was
excluded from the privatization list. SOCAR immediately announced
about its intention to purchase it. Many experts note that if Georgian
authorities allow it happen, it may negatively affect the relations
between Yerevan and Tbilisi.
