SOCAR blames European bureaucracy for delay in Desfa deal

The European Commission launched an investigation to find out whether the agreement is in keeping with European law.

The new government in Athens has said it respects the previous government’s decision to sell Desfa.  Even so, the Greek authorities aren’t helping to resolve the issue, Abdullayev complained.

SOCAR is committed to the Desfa deal, which is a profitable project, he added.
