SOCAR is not new to Türkiye’s economic landscape. Over the past decade and a half, its investments have already surpassed $18 billion, touching every critical sector from refining and logistics to petrochemicals. The acquisition of Petkim in 2008 was a historic step that symbolised Azerbaijan’s commitment to Türkiye’s industrial development.

This contribution has already demonstrated the power of Azerbaijani capital working in harmony with Turkish industry.
