Azerbaijan To Supply Zero Oil To Belarus This May

Oil from Azerbaijan did not enter Belarus in April either.

The Azerbaijani oil company SOCAR will not supply oil to Belarus in May due to the lack of a request from the Belarusian side. It was reported by euroradio.fm with a reference to Ibrahim Akhmedov, Deputy Head of the Department for Organization of Events and Public Relations of SOCAR.

Oil from Azerbaijan did not enter Belarus in April either.

- Our cooperation with Belarus on oil supplies continues. At the same time, we do not violate international sanctions, - says Ibrahim Akhmedov.

Perhaps such a situation occurred because the Mazyr oil refinery usually stops working in June to carry out repairs. It was previously planned that this will happen in mid-May. This is where 1 million tons of Azerbaijani oil should go in 2021. Of this volume, Belarus imported 360.1 thousand tons of oil in the first quarter.
