Iran is the best route for transferring Turkmenistan gas to Pakistan.

The TAPI pipeline project was inaugurated by leaders of four countries in January 2016.

The prime minister believed that no country was more interested in peace and stability in Afghanistan than Pakistan.

Iran. which disputes the claim. has imported Turkmen gas since 1997 to supply its northern region.

Turkmenistan has asked to receive what it said to be a 1.8-billion-dollar debt from Iran. a claim that is not accepted by the Iranian side.

Turkistan claims Iran owes it $1.5 to 1.8 billion from sales between 2007 and 2008.

Annual capacity of the gas pipeline will be 33 billion cubic meters.

Turkmenistan has no access to open seas and its shipment of gas to international markets has to go through the neighbors.

Iraq and Turkey remain to be main importers of Iranian natural gas and Tehran is eying to increase its gas exports to its western neighbors.

Iran'.s gas production capacity has reached 885 million cubic meters per day.
