KIEV, Nov. 23 – Natural gas supplies under Azerbaijan's Shah-Deniz Phase-2 project to Ukraine may start late in 2017, according to Azerbaijani Ambassador to Ukraine Eynulla Madatli.

"We'll start from two billion cubic meters and will gradually increase to five billion cubic meters. There are several options. In particular, if it's economically advantageous and commercially feasible, not only gas from Azerbaijan, but also Turkmen one via TANAP [the Trans-Anatolian gas pipeline is a proposed natural gas pipeline, which will run from Azerbaijan through Turkey to Europe] could be shipped to Ukraine. However, there are other options too. In particular, [it could be] liquefied gas [shipped] across the Black Sea," he said.
