Earlier, on November 3, Caucasus Watch reported that Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Elnur Mammadov warned that fulfilling the obligation to double gas exports to the European Union will depend on the fact that the bloc will invest new investments in its pipeline network and close the long-term agreements of European companies. Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Elnur Mammadov said these agreements should include the period after 2027. He added: "We must be sure that this [the energy agreements with EU] is not a spontaneous demand for the Ukrainian war. This war will end one day, and then you will return to gas from Russia again, and you will say well, we do not need you anymore."
