Within his Baku visit this June Iranian energy minister Seyid Parviz Fattah obtained breakthrough in the issue of creation of a workgroup at the level of deputy energy ministers to draft an agreement on North-South energy transport corridor from Russia to Iran through Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijan is ready to sign the agreement on creation of the corridor.

After agreement signing and creation of Russia-Azerbaijan-Iran corridor, it will also become possible to export Azerbaijani power to Turkey via Iranian energy system.

The arrangements between the parties will be registered as a protocol.

Creation of the corridor was delayed for a long time because of disagreements between Russia and Iran. Russia supported free sales of power and Iran – power exchange.
