"This year it is planned to export 24.5 billion cubic meters of gas. At the same time, we will send 10.2 billion cubic meters to Turkey, and about 12 billion more to Europe. In total, 20.9 billion cubic meters of gas have been supplied to Turkey since the launch of the Southern Gas Corridor, to Europe - 22 billion," Shahbazov said during a meeting of energy ministers of the countries of the Organization of Turkic States in Budapest.
