Europe may have Azerbaijan extra after Hormuz disaster, President Aliyev tells Euronews

Azerbaijan could play a bigger role in Europe’s energy security as countries reconsider supply routes following the Hormuz crisis, President Ilham Aliyev told Euronews, while also presenting the country’s post-conflict reconstruction projects as a potential model for other regions emerging from war.
Speaking on the sidelines of the World Urban Forum in Baku, Aliyev said Azerbaijan’s energy diversification strategy had protected the country from disruptions linked to instability in the Middle East. He argued that future geopolitical shifts could increase demand for Azerbaijani infrastructure and export routes.
Aliyev said Azerbaijani gas currently reaches 16 countries through the Southern Gas Corridor, including 10 European Union member states. He described cooperation with the European Commission as “fruitful”, adding that Europe needs alternative energy suppliers while Azerbaijan requires stable export markets.
