The President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, said on Saturday that his country will become an important supplier of electricity for Europe, especially green energy, told Agerpres.
"This agreement is a step to create a green energy corridor. (...) Azerbaijan is widening its geographical range of action by supplying gas to European markets. It is a win-win situation because Europe needs to strengthen its security energy, and Azerbaijan needs outlets for the huge resources it has. Today we are starting to build a new 'bridge' from Azerbaijan to Europe. Our country will become an important supplier of electricity to Europe, especially green energy,", said the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
