What Azerbaijan doesn’t have enough of, it will buy from Russia and bring it back to Europe, commented energy expert Krasimir Manov.
We won’t be cold. The EU is powerful. The oil issue is resolved, the coal issue is resolved. There are problems with natural gas, but that too will be solved,” he commented to Nova News.
“It will be difficult to ask for new quantities of gas from Azerbaijan, because Azerbaijan produces about 31 billion, and sells 34. What Azerbaijan does not have, it can buy from Russia and bring it back to Europe,” he added. Manov.
When asked if we are energy independent from Russia, if the gas that comes to Bulgaria “on another line” is still Russian, he answered with a definition: “Energy independence means complete liberalization of the market and diversification. It means having a choice of several contractors to you can get it. Then the prices go down.”
According to the expert, even now there are people and companies who can import gas from Turkey at half the price compared to Gaprom’s. “Why is it not being done? The name of the solver is Alexander Nikolov. The Minister of Energy is the important person who determines what the policy is,” Manov pointed out.
