TAP is a part of the Southern Gas Corridor which is expected to extend to over 2,000 miles, carrying natural gas from Azerbaijan to Georgia into Turkey and on through Greece and Albania into southern Italy. The first delivery of Azerbaijani gas is scheduled for early 2020.
The Southern Gas Corridor is backed by the US and European Commission and considered by them as a competitor to the suspended Turkish Stream project.
