Belarus: Azerbaijan oil?

摘要

President Lukashenko of Belarus has met with SOCAR President Rovnag Abdullaev in Minsk to discuss the possibility of Azerbaijan selling oil to Belarus on a swap basis. Abdullaev says that "we did a good job with the Belarus Government". Lukashenko said that the deal would provide for Venezuela to send oil on Azerbaijan's account to South American countries while Azerbaijan supplied the same volume of oil to Belarus through the Odessa-Brody pipeline and then along part of the Druzhba pipeline. Belarus has agreed to buy 10 mn t/yr of oil from Venezuela for 10 years.
