Vasili Istratov: "Gazprom's offer to buy Azerbaijani gas is long-term and commercial"

u"Gazprom's proposal envisions the European price minus expenses on transportation from the due point to consumer", said he.

Comparing Gazprom's offer, made a year and a half ago, about raising gas price to Azerbaijan and current proposal, Istratov noted that both of them are commercial.

"This implies an agreement between the economic establishments. Certainly, political guarantees of the contract duration can also be supplied. Anyway, the seller, in this case Azerbaijan, is to decide", said the Russian ambassador.
