Ukraine signs gas deal with Azerbaijan's SOCAR

For over eight years, OC Media has worked with fearless journalists from Azerbaijan — some of whom now face decades behind bars — to bring you the stories the regime is afraid will get out. Help us fuel Aliyev's fears — become an OC Media member today Become a member Ukraine's state-owned oil and gas company Naftogaz has signed its first deal with the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) to import natural gas via the Trans-Balkan route. Naftogaz announced the deal via a press release on Monday. 'This is a small volume but strategically important step that paves the way for long-term cooperation. It is also another example of diversifying supply sources and strengthening Ukraine's energy security', the CEO of Naftogaz, Serhii Koretskyi, said. In the press release, Naftogaz also extended its gratitude to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi, the Ukrainian government, and Ukraine's Energy Ministry 'for their support in reaching this agreement', as well as to its Azerbaijani colleagues 'for their trust'. Ukraine announced the new Trans-Balkan route through Bulgaria, Romania, and Moldova in May 2025 'Having phased out Russian energy carriers, Ukraine, like our partners in the EU, is actively working to find alternative gas supply routes. The use of the Trans-Balkan route is important in this context', a press release by Ukraine's Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko said at the time. A source told Reuters in June that the new route could allow Ukraine to import up to 1 billion cubic metres of gas between June–October 2025, with a daily import capacity of 7,000 cubic metres. Advertisement The Ukrainian government reportedly previously announced that the country needed to import at least 4 billion cubic metres of gas for the 2025–2026 heating season. As part of its effort to shift away from dependency on Russian energy, the EU has increasingly turned toward Azerbaijan. However, there are concerns that Azerbaijan still works to launder Russian fossil fuels to be sold in the European market. Previously, in May, the UK sanctioned a state-owned Azerbaijani tanker as part of efforts to block Russia's oil trading shadow fleet. An investigation by the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) found that the ship in question, the Zangazur, was owned by the Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping Company and that the Azerbaijani government owned the entirety of the company's shares. Based on shipping data, the OCCRP recorded the Zangazur paying regular visits to the Russian port of Primorsk, west of Saint Petersburg, which features an oil terminal, as well as to the Turkish port of Nemrut, where Azerbaijan's state-owned STAR oil refinery is located. According to data collected by the advocacy group Global Witness, Azerbaijan's STAR refinery processed a large amount of Russian crude oil in 2024. 'The vast majority of STAR products imported by the EU this year have likely been made from Russian oil', Global Witness stated in a July 2024 report. Such imports follow a 2022 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), according to which Azerbaijan would double its supply of gas to the EU, which would allegedly, as European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen highlighted at the time, 'compensate for cuts in supplies of Russian gas and contribute significantly to Europe's security of supply'.

Russian–Armenian tycoon Karapetyan wins an arbitration case against Armenia
Sign in or or Become a member to unlock the audio version of this article Join the voices Aliyev wants to silence. For over eight years, OC Media has worked with fearless journalists from Azerbaijan — some of whom now face decades behind bars — to bring you the stories the regime is afraid will get out. Help us fuel Aliyev's fears — become an OC Media member today Become a member Russian–Armenian billionaire Samvel Karapetyan has won an urgent arbitration case against the Armenian government regarding the Electric Networks of Armenia (ENA), Karapetyan's defence council announced on Wednesday. Karapetyan's lawyers also noted that the decision of the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC Arbitration Institute) is subject to 'mandatory execution' by the Armenian authorities. 'The arbitration concluded that it was necessary to apply urgent measures of protection, since the actions of the Republic of Armenia 'raise serious doubts about the compliance of the Republic of Armenia with the Agreement on the Reciprocal Protection of Investments in force between Armenia and Cyprus' ', the statement read. It also 'obliged' Armenian authorities 'to refrain from applying the provisions of the recently adopted' legislative amendments that would allow the state to take over the ENA as well as 'from further steps to seize' the company, Karapetyan's lawyers stated. The Armenian Parliament adopted a bill that would virtually allow the state to take over the company on 3 July by enabling the state to 'intervene' and oversee its administrations should the company fail to meet its obligations. According to the Armenian Public TV, SCC Arbitration Institute 'has rejected the claim for the release' of Karapetyan. Earlier, on 30 June, Karaptyan's Tashir Group announced that the tycoon's family officially notified Armenian authorities about initiating an investment dispute. Advertisement The notice, according to their statement, was based on the 1995 Armenia–Cyprus investment promotion and protection agreement, which allows investors to turn to international arbitration if their rights are violated by the state. The announcement seeking to nationalise the ENA came shortly after Karapetyan's detention in June, with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan vowing to 'swiftly' act to do so. Meanwhile, he claimed the move was not related to Karapetyan's remarks in support of the church, which led to his detention in June and charges of making calls to overthrow the government. Instead, Pashinyan cited public discontent with the company's services and frequent power outages in Armenia, which Pashinyan alleged were intentionally used 'to generate internal public discontent in Armenia'. 'If the politicians fail, then we will participate in our own way in all of this', Karapetyan had said in an interview with before his arrest. Following his arrest, Armenia fined ENA ֏10 million ($26,000) 'for technical and commercial violations', the Public Services Regulatory Commission announced. In mid-July, Karapetyan was charged with additional money laundering charges through several companies, following raids on his companies in Armenia. 'Eliminating possible risks threatening state security' The Armenian government responded shortly after the statement from Karapetyan's lawyers. 'While respecting the security measures applied by foreign arbitration decisions, at the same time everyone is also obliged to be guided by the legislation of […] Armenia and international treaties that define the rules and procedures for the recognition and implementation of arbitration decisions', the Armenian government said in its response. The statement said it was released in response to unnamed media publications, with the Armenian government stating the scope of the issues examined in the urgent case 'is different from the objectives of the decision to appoint a temporary administrator and the scope of the actions to be taken by the latter'. The goal of the appointment of a temporary administrator, according to the statement, pursued 'preventing the risks of deliberately creating an energy crisis', 'ensuring public order, eliminating possible risks threatening state security', 'excluding the concealment of abuses in the ENA and preventing further abuses'. On 18 July, the Chair of the Public Services Regulatory Commission (PSRC), Mesrop Mesropyan, appointed Romanos Petrosyan as the temporary manager of the ENA, in an apparent overture to the state's takeover of the company. Petrosyan is a prominent member of the ruling Civil Contract party's board.
