Azerbaijan sent 1.1971 billion cubic meters of natural gas to Syria through Turkey in the first nine months of 2026, accounting for 66.93% of Turkey’s total gas exports during the period.
The figures are included in the September report of Turkey’s Energy Market Regulatory Authority, or EPDK, cited by Report, according to Vesti Baku.
In September alone, 157 million cubic meters of gas were delivered to Syria, an increase of 55.92% from a year earlier. Turkey exported 1.78851 billion cubic meters of gas in the first nine months of the year, up 15.4% from the same period in 2025.
Deliveries Near Annual Target
Exports of Azerbaijani gas to Syria through Turkey began on Aug. 2, 2025. The project’s initial phase calls for deliveries of about 1.2 billion cubic meters a year.
The gas travels through the Turkish city of Kilis to power plants in Aleppo and Homs. The plan calls for it to support electricity generation capacity of 1,200 to 1,300 megawatts.
The project is based on a memorandum signed by SOCAR and the Syrian government in July 2025. The published data show the volume transported during the first nine months of 2026, not a new annual contract.
