BOTAŞ will help Turkmenistan to transport gas through Azerbaijan to Europe

When viewing the Baku Bay from a bird's-eye view - while on an aircraft or viewing through quadcopter video cameras, an extensive iridescent film from oil-containing waste thrown into the sea is clearly visible on the surface of the water.

Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev's state visit to Azerbaijan, his participation on 11 March in the first meeting of the Supreme Interstate Council, bilateral negotiations and the symbolic reception (online) of a transit container train with Chinese cargo in Baku demonstrated the interest of both Caspian littoral states in each other.

This year's upcoming elections in the TOP 10 countries for gas exports to Europe, as well as the June 6-9 elections to the European Parliament, which will be held in all 27 EU countries, may affect the situation in the world's commodity markets, increasing their already high volatility observed over the past 4 years.

In the heart of the Caspian Sea, a silent battle is unfolding, pitting two enigmatic creatures against each other, with the fate of this vast water body hanging in the balance. Yet, in this aquatic skirmish, whoever emerges victorious, it seems, humanity may ultimately be the loser.
