    What a U-turn?! Europe criticized Azerbaijan for selling Russian gas to Europe. Now, they want to buy Russian gas from SOCAR through Ukraine


    Do you remember how some in Europe and our dear neighbor Armenia were spreading propaganda with cliches like "dictatorial petro-dollar Aliyev sells Russian gas to Europe"?

    Civilnet: Is Azerbaijan selling Russian gas to Europe?

    Some were "embarrassed" to buy Azeri gas. So cute.

    Le Monde: Rising gas imports from Azerbaijan embarrass Europe

    Some called for sanctions on gas exports for "ethnic cleansing"

    Calls grow for EU sanctions on gas-rich Azerbaijan over ethnic cleansing fears

    Now, effectively Europe wants SOCAR to buy and sell Russian gas to Europe through Ukraine. Honestly, I am a bit shocked.

    EU wants Azerbaijan to fuel Russian gas pipeline in Ukraine

    Everyone including Ukraine seems to be happy about the possible deal.

    Ukraine is ready to transport Azerbaijani, Kazakh and "any other" gas, except Russian, to Europe after the contract with Gazprom expires.

    I guess the war in Ukraine made it less embarrassing to buy gas from Azerbaijan now.

      never understood why armenians cried about azeri gas while making billions trading with russia

      i think the long term plan is to sell as much as possible and empty the reserves over 30 years and in around 10 years start making plans for a pipeline from turkmenistan wich has infinite gas and you dont want to do it now before you sell almost everything in caspian

      if armenia works and proves to be a good boy and i think that pipeline has a chance to go trough them

      also lol @ propaganda making it look like azerbaijan is being pro putin, going against ukraine by these deals when ukraine and the EU asked azerbaijan to negotiate and do it

      folks will eat up the smallest crumb they can get for a dopamine hit

      and dont forget the french are fully up and running drilling gas from caspian, in fact they are probably the biggest ones lobbying to increase gas sales trough europe because the one field they have the most stake in is being relatively unused right now xD
