据AzerNews网2019年4月10日巴库报道，格鲁吉亚总理马穆卡·巴赫塔泽说，格鲁吉亚准备探索通过巴库-第比利斯-杰伊汉(BTC)石油管道增加能源出口的机会。

巴赫塔泽是在法国举行的欧洲委员会议会春季会议上回答阿塞拜疆议员加尼拉·帕萨耶娃的提问题时发表上述讲话的。

巴赫塔泽说：“阿塞拜疆是格鲁吉亚的战略合作伙伴。”他补充说，两国共同实施了诸如巴库-第比利斯-卡尔斯、巴库-第比利斯-杰伊汉以及南部天然气走廊等历史项目。

巴赫塔泽说：“我们认为我们还没有充分利用里海的资源，当然，我们可以为欧洲的能源安全做出更多的贡献。我们与欧洲同事进行了这种对话。例如，巴库-第比利斯-杰伊汉地区的能源供应能力有限。当然，我们将很高兴与阿塞拜疆一道探索这个机会，增加我们走廊的能源出口。”

BTC石油管道总长1768公里，其中穿越阿塞拜疆443公里，穿越格鲁吉亚249公里，穿越土耳其1076公里。这条管道在2003年4月开始施工，并在2005年5月18日充油。

Georgia ready to explore opportunities to increase energy flow through BTC

Georgia is ready to explore opportunities to increase energy flow through the Baku-Tblisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline, said Mamuka Bakhtadze, Prime Minister of Georgia, Trend reports.

He made the remarks during the spring session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) in France, answering the question of Azerbaijani MP Ganira Pashayeva.

“Azerbaijan is a strategic partner of Georgia,” he said, adding that the two countries together have implemented historical projects, such as Baku-Tbilisi-Kars, Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan, also Southern Gas Corridor and many others.

“We think that we are not fully utilizing the resources of the Caspian Sea and of course, we can contribute to the energy security of Europe more. We have this dialogue with our European colleagues. There are few capacities for example in Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan and of course, we will be very happy explore this opportunity together with Azerbaijan to increase the energy flow in our corridor,” added Georgian PM.

The total length of the BTC pipeline is 1,768 kilometers, 443 kilometers of which passes through Azerbaijan, 249 through Georgia and 1,076 through Turkey. Construction of the pipeline was commenced in April 2003, and the pipeline was filled with oil on May 18, 2005.
