  Russia and Iran agree on gas pipeline route via Azerbaijan

Russia and Iran have agreed on a gas pipeline route to the Islamic republic through Azerbaijan, negotiations are in the final stage of agreeing on the price of supplies, Russian Energy Minister Sergey Tsivilyov told journalists, AzVision.az reports, citing TASS.

"We have agreed on the route through Azerbaijan. We are now in the final stage of negotiations - approving the price. The volumes have already been fixed. Price is always a commercial issue, a search for a compromise, so working groups have been formed on both sides, and specialists are developing an approach to pricing," the minister said.

Tsivilyov clarified that the basic solution for the price is the parity of the calorific value of oil and gas with a certain ratio, in which the parties still have differences.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the project to build a gas pipeline from Russia to Iran is underway, with supplies at the first stage potentially amounting to 2 billion cubic meters, with the prospect of increasing them to 55 billion cubic meters.
