Has Azerbaijan the potential to exploit that amount of gas TR needs?
Why giving billions to RU when AZ can get it? Also a opportunity to lower the trade deficite between TR and RU.
"On November 1, 2017, a SOCAR spokesman announced that Azerbaijan will produce the second billion tons of oil in the coming days. In the meantime, the quantity has increased to 700 million tons since independence. This was made possible through contracts with numerous of the world's largest oil companies from 8 countries [
BP for example]"
in terms of Gas :
"Azerbaijan has awarded
Gazprom the contract for 1.2 trillion cubic meters of its gas reserves"
further:
"According to
BP, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan have 2.2 percent of the world's oil reserves and 14 percent of the world's gas reserves."
Now think about a Turkic Union modeled on the EU, why e.g. fckn Russia is against it - and why Western Hyenas are at it again...
and to finally answer your question - yes, AZ could give TR all the resources she needs...
AZ in 2011:
Oil reserves [in Mio t.]: 952 = 7 Billion Barrel ;
Overall potential [in Mio t.]: 3916
Gas reserves [in trillion m³]: 1317
Overall potential [in trillion m³]: 3628
