Azerbaijani oil company SOCAR will provide Georgia with 200 million cubic metres of natural gas at a cheaper tariff which is a trade secret. 

The natural gas wil be used for households and for thermal power plants.

Azerbaijan has made this decision, which will take some time, but I think this process will continue in the future. Of course, market principles will be taken into account in this, but Georgian-Azerbaijani relations cannot always follow the developments in the heel market, because these are friendly relations. Therefore, by mutual support, we will lag behind market developments for the benefit of ordinary citizens and nations. The policy of social orientation is in both countries, so we continue on this path," said Abdullayev.

The agreement was signed yesterday by the Economy Ministry Natia Turnava and SOCAR President Rovnag Abdullayev.
