The creation of the Azerbaijan–Georgia–Türkiye–Bulgaria green energy corridor is of great importance for ensuring regional energy security, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said at a joint press conference in Sofia with his Bulgarian counterpart Velislava Petrova-Chamova, Report informs.

The Turkish minister also emphasized that energy is one of the main areas of cooperation between Türkiye and Bulgaria: "Our relations expand, diversify, and deepen every year."
