Iranian President: Tehran-Baku Agreement to Make Iran Regional Transit HubIranian President Seyed Ebrahim Raeisi said that the gas agreement signed between Tehran, Baku and Turkmenistan will make Iran a hub for transit of gas in the region.

Raeisi noted that Iran and Turkmenistan had problems for five years but now the ties between two countries are better and “the issue of gas swaps between Iran, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan could raise Iran as a regional hub and transit route.”

He went on to say “We had a meeting with economic activists in Turkmenistan and I promised them to follow the revival of the gas contract so that their work would continue.”

A trilateral agreement to swap 1.2 to two billion cubic meters of Turkmenistan’s natural gas to the Republic of Azerbaijan via Iran was signed in Ashgabat in the presence of Iranian president and his Azeri counterpart Ilham Aliyev.
