“Currently, there is a possibility of transferring Iranian gas to Bulgaria through Turkey and Azerbaijan. We have a gas pipeline with Turkey and we export gas to Turkey. Another option for transporting Iranian gas to Bulgaria through Azerbaijan is the southern gas corridor between Greece and Bulgaria, which is possible because part of its capacity is empty.
We have a saying that a good friend is known on a bad day! That’s why we are ready to provide part of Bulgaria’s gas needs in these difficult conditions,” the Iranian ambassador told Epicenter.bg.
Here are the highlights of the interview:
- The economies of the two countries complement each other and in many areas there is an opportunity to meet mutual needs.
- The 20th session of the Joint Economic Cooperation Commission between the two countries will soon take place in Tehran, which is actually a roadmap for the development of cooperation between the two countries.
- In general, cultural cooperation between the two countries is at a good level.
