Almaty. July 2. Kazakhstan Today - Signing of the intergovernmental agreement on the energy project Nabucco, planned for the middle of July, may be postponed due to unresolved problems of filling the TransCaspian pipeline with gas. Turkish mass media informed on Tuesday, the agency reports citing information-analytical portal Neft Rossii.

"The agreement on the project of export of gas to Europe bypassing Russia was initially planned to be signed in Ankara on June 25th. The date of signing of the document has been shifted to July 15th," the newspaper Aksham informs.

"The main problem - insufficient completion of the pipeline with gas. Promised by Azerbaijan 7 billion cubic meters of gas is obviously not enough to satisfy annual demand of the European Union of 20 billion cubic meters," the article says.
