According to Azeri-Press News Agency, Trkiye's pipeline transport operator BOTAS reported that in January 2025, the volume of oil transported via the BTC pipeline through Trkiye was 17,571 thousand barrels, indicating a significant volume of oil transit through the region. Last year, the total volume of oil transported through Turkish territory via the BTC pipeline was 206,434 thousand barrels, which reflected a 7.9% decline from the previous year.
