Media Review for November 16

The newspaper Azerbaijan writes that the BP company in connection with the completion of the TAP project announced the end of the world's largest gas project. Thus, the Shah Deniz 2 and the Southern Gas Corridor projects are being fully implemented.

Thanks to them, for the first time Caspian gas will enter Europe. These projects will change the energy map of the region. By the end of this year, gas exports will begin.

TAP is an 878 km section of the Southern Gas Corridor. It passes through Greece (550 kilometers), Albania (215 kilometers), the Adriatic Sea (105 kilometers) and goes to the coast of Italy (8 kilometers). The shareholders of TAP are: BP (20%), SOCAR (20%), Snam (20%), Fluxys (19%), Enagás (16%) and Axpo (5%). The decision to build the TAP was made at the end of 2013.

The website Yenisabah.az writes about giving the Armenian side 10 more days to leave Kelbajar. As you know, the Armenians had to leave Kelbajar by November 15, Agdam by November 20, and Lachin by December 1. The main reason for the delay is technical. Kelbajar is a large area and there is only one road. Azerbaijan, at the request of Russia, has taken this humane step.

The website Bizimyol.info.az writes about the unfair position of France towards Azerbaijan, despite the fact that this country is a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group.

In this situation, even after another 10 years, the Karabakh conflict would not have been resolved, and the annexation of Azerbaijani territories would have been preserved.

After the victory of Azerbaijan, Paris and a number of other countries act from the position of the interests of the Armenians, trying to stall a fair settlement.
