If the Nabucco gas pipeline is implemented, Azerbaijani gas will be flowing to Germany across Europe, said Natig Aliyev, Azerbaijan’s Minister of Industry and Energy.

He said Nabucco is the most important project for the European Union and there are several arrangements.

The issue of financing is under discussion now, he said.

The minister noted that if the project goes through, the Azerbaijani gas will be transported from Greece to Bulgaria and onto other European countries including Germany.

"For this, it is possible to build a 90-kilometer gas pipeline from Greece to Bulgaria. All this must be analyzed and evaluated. One of the main goals is to obtain a net profit with less cost for transportation,” he added.

Azerbaijan will continue cooperation with the EU in all levels, he added.
