President Nursultan Nazarbaev told journalists in Aktau on 23 May that Kazakhstan\'s plan to export oil through the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline is a \"necessity.\" Noting that Kazakhstan already exports oil through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium and the Atyrau-Samara routes, Nazarbaev added, \"Now we are opening a new branch -- through the Caspian to Russia and Baku, which goes on to the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline. This is a great necessity for us.
