TBILISI - Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said Wednesday Azerbaijan, Turkey and Georgia assured the energy safety of not only their own region but also Europe with the joint projects they implemented.
Aliyev attended the ground-breaking ceremony of Georgian part of Baku-Tbilisi-Kars (BTK) railway project together with Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili and Turkish President Abdullah Gul in Tbilisi.
Unfortunately international institutions did not support the project but Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia financed the project, Aliyev said.
Aliyev recalled that Azerbaijan supplied natural gas to Greece besides Georgia and Turkey through Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum natural gas pipeline.
Aliyev added that BTK project will contribute to prosperity and happiness of not only the region but also the whole world.
