‘Armenia damaged natural gas pipeline connecting Yevlakh to the Nakhchivan exclave of Azerbaijan’

Baku, February 27, AZERTAC

Armenia damaged existing energy transit facilities, such as the natural gas pipeline connecting Yevlakh to the Nakhchivan exclave of Azerbaijan. Thus, as a result of the occupation, Azerbaijan was unable to provide natural gas service to Nakhchivan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on arbitration case filed by Azerbaijan against Armenia under the Energy Charter Treaty for illegal exploitation of Azerbaijan`s energy resources.

“This arbitration case is an effort to secure justice and reparations for nearly 30 years of illegal exploitation and expropriation of Azerbaijan`s energy resources by Armenia, on Azerbaijan`s internationally recognised sovereign territory,” the statement says.
