Bulgaria, Azerbaijan discuss possible gas supplies

Bulgaria, almost fully dependent on Russian gas supplies, has discussed the possibility of imports from Azerbaijan in case gas supplies from Russia via Ukraine are disrupted, Energy Minister Dragomir Stoynev said on Tuesday.

"We are carefully monitoring the situation in Ukraine. We discussed short-term actions, so that we can guarantee gas supplies," Stoynev told reporters after meeting Azeri counterpart Natik Aliyev.

Aliyev said the two discussed delivery of compressed or liquefied natural gas to Greek ports, and from there to Bulgaria.
