Baku: Azerbaijan is a key partner in ensuring Bulgaria’s energy security, especially given the complex geopolitical situation in the region, former Bulgarian Deputy Energy Minister Yavor Kuyumdzhiev said in the latest episode of the “Azerbaijan and the World” program broadcast on the AZERTAC website.
According to Azerbaijan State News Agency, Kuyumdzhiev highlighted the significance of the long-term contract for the supply of approximately one billion cubic meters of gas per year. This agreement plays a vital role in ensuring Bulgaria’s energy stability and covers a substantial portion of domestic consumption. The expert noted that this volume of supplies extends beyond Bulgaria, benefiting other Southern European countries, including Greece and Italy.
The former deputy minister emphasized Bulgaria’s gratitude to Azerbaijan for the consistent implementation of the energy agreement, which resulted from extensive preparation and negotiations. He assessed this agreement as an important element of regional energy stability.
