Azerbaijani Ambassador Pushes Gas Pipeline in Washington

13:38, October 25, 2012

Elin Suleymanov, Azerbaijan's Ambassador in Washington D.C, says he's a busy man these days lobbying the U.S. government to back the TANAP – the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline; a $7 billion project to transport Caspian gas to western Turkey and possibly beyond.

"You cannot believe how I am busy these days," Suleymanov said in a recent interview, adding that he was meeting with key figures across the U.S. to convince them that the project is the "new Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan" pipeline.

Suleymanov noted that what makes TANAP especially important is that no one is discussing the Nabucco pipeline any longer.
