CALIFORNIA: The Greek crisis remains a headache not only for Greece itself, but also for the countries affected by it. Azerbaijan is not among these countries. As distinct from Greece, Azerbaijan directed its energy towards maintaining both its political and economic independence despite the outside pressure and refused to join various economic unions.
The first deal worth $400 million on purchasing 66-percent share in Greek DESFA gas transmission operator by the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) was delayed due to the current government of Alexis Tsipras.
