In September, after the President of Turkey, R. Erdogan, Azerbaijan was visited by the new Premier of Turkey A. Davutoglu. He coordinated his visit with the ceremony of laying of the foundation of TANAP that will transport gas from the Azeri Shakh-Deniz deposit to Europe. The project was presented as broadening of the active pipeline Baku – Tbilisi – Erzurum within the South gas corridor. The laying of the foundation was nominal because Azeri gas will be transported via TANAP to Erzurum with the use of the active capacities. The work for adjustment of the active pipeline for transporting of the additional volumes should start on April 1st 2015.
