Noghaideli said that, despite Russian economic sanctions and threats to cut off gas supplies this winter, Georgia expects to meet its energy needs through a deal with Azerbaijan and is looking to new markets for its exports.
Noghaideli was speaking on December 13 at a university in the U.S. capital, Washington DC.
