Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan have launched the Iğdır-Nakhchivan pipeline, a 97-kilometre gas route linking eastern Türkiye to Nakhchivan, an Azerbaijani exclave. The project aims to enhance energy security and strengthen regional cooperation.
Capacity: 2 million cubic meters of gas per day.
Route: Iğdır (Türkiye) to Sadarak (Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan).
Purpose: Ensures Nakhchivan’s energy security by transferring Azerbaijani gas via Türkiye.
Construction: Built by BOTAŞ, Türkiye’s state pipeline operator.
First Proposed: September 2023.
🔹 Ilham Aliyev (President of Azerbaijan):
"The project we inaugurate today will ensure Nakhchivan’s energy security. Azerbaijani gas will reach Nakhchivan through Türkiye, solving this issue permanently."
"Our joint energy initiatives have enabled major transport projects like the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway, strengthening the entire Turkic world."
🔹 Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (President of Türkiye):
"We are in full agreement with Azerbaijan on strategic energy projects. The Iğdır-Nakhchivan pipeline will ensure Nakhchivan’s energy supply for at least 30 years."
"This project complements our previous energy initiatives and reinforces our common destiny with Nakhchivan."
The pipeline strengthens Azerbaijan-Türkiye cooperation, complementing the TANAP pipeline, which delivers Azerbaijani gas to Europe. Officials say the project will reshape the region’s energy map, making Türkiye and Azerbaijan a key energy bridge between Central Asia and Europe.
Gas flow is expected to begin soon, and the inauguration ceremony concluded with an Iftar dinner, as both nations celebrated the holy month of Ramadan.
