Azerbaijan has offered Iraq access to the “Southern Gas Corridor” connecting the Caspian Sea to the European Union to help Baghdad sell natural gas to Europe, Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said at a joint news conference with his Iraqi counterpart Hoshyar Zebari.

 

Elmar Mammadyarov told journalists in the Iraqi capital that officials in Baghdad had already expressed interest in joining the massive project: “Azerbaijan is ready to start negotiations on this issue.”
