Prime Minister of Azerbaidjan, Artur Rasizade proved to be a great fan of Bulgaria’s pop diva Lily Ivanova. He admitted it before his Bulgarian colleague Boiko Borisov in Baku. End-May Baku will host Eurovision song contest where Bulgaria will be represented by Romani nightingale Sofi Marinova. “I love listening to the music but I divided the singers I like into two-three groups. Lily Ivanova belongs to my top ten favorites,” Rasizade said with a smile after the discussion on gas supplies for Bulgaria.

Bulgarian PM Boyko Borissov, Transport Minister Ivaylo Moskovski, Agriculture Minister Miroslav Naydenov and Economy Minister Delyan Dobrev paid a two-day official visit to Azerbaijan.

Mr. Borissov sees the transportation of Azeri natural gas to Europe via Turkey as the continent’s only option to achieve diversification of its energy supplies and called for talks with his Turkish counterpart Recep Erdogan and European Commission President Jose Barroso.

Mr. Borissov added that the perspective of the Nabucco pipeline’s construction was too bleak and just as much uncertain, while the one of Bulgaria securing regular gas supplies from Azerbaijan was quite feasible in the context of the memorandum, signed between the Bulgarian energy holding and Azerbaijan’s gas company.
