Turkish FM: Azerbaijan's role in energy security increases

Türkiye has been implementing important projects for a long time to become an energy centre, APA's Istanbul correspondent reports referring to Cavusoglu.

“Western Europe, the Balkan countries hope for us, for Azerbaijan thanks to these projects. Azerbaijan’s role has increased,” he said.
