Daily Sabah reports that Azerbaijan will pay Turkey a transport fee of USD 45/1,000 cubic meters thus Turkey will raise an annual revenue of USD 300mn from the transport of Azeri natural gas to Europe. With the other key agreement the price of natural gas Turkey imports from Shah Deniz I project increased to USD 300/1,000 cubic meters from USD 120/1,000 cubic meters. Energy minister Taner Yildiz says that local end-users will not be affected from the price adjustment.
