“Azerbaijan intends to become an energy hub with different pipelines and energy resources coming not only from its fields, but also from Turkmenistan and maybe Iran,” Ambassador of Austria to Azerbaijan Axel Wech said in an interview with Trend Dec. 2.
The ambassador thinks that Azerbaijan needs more roads, railways, hospitals to be constructed to place itself into a position of a transit country.
He underlined again that Austrian companies are very strong in this field.
Azerbaijan will start supplying some 10 billion cubic meters of gas a year from the Shah Deniz field to Europe via the Trans-Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP) and Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) in 2019-2020.
The ambassador believes that sooner or later a bigger pipeline than Trans Adriatic Pipeline will be necessary.
