Azerbaijan’s state oil company SOCAR has dismissed the information about purchasing a bitumen plant in Armenia.
Armenian media reported that allegedly, SOCAR is in talks over purchasing a bitumen plant in this country with Georgia’s mediation.

Ibrahim Ahmadov, deputy head of the public relations and events department at Azerbaijan's state oil company SOCAR told Trend that such absurd statements are incompatible with the level of SOCAR.

Armenia will be supplied with natural gas from Russia, through the territory of Azerbaijan, this is a tremendous geostrategic move that connects, unlike any other time, the governments of Azerbaijan and Russia, Peter M. Tase, US expert, strategic adviser on international affairs and public diplomacy to governments, universities, and corporations in Europe and the Americas told Trend.

The fact that Azerbaijan is going to help Armenia maintain a steady supply of natural gas whether from Russia or anywhere else, is another sign of how positively and humanely Azerbaijan has behaved in the aftermath of the Second Karabakh War, former US ambassador to Azerbaijan Matthew Bryza told Trend.

Russian gas will be temporarily transported to Armenia through Azerbaijan due to the repair of the North Caucasus - Transcaucasia gas pipeline.
