These groups have been spreading provocative messages on socialmedia, making baseless claims that our company engages in crude oiltrade with Israel, and physically attacking our company premises,thereby endangering the safety of our employees. The escalatingprovocations against our headquarters building in Istanbul on March12, May 29, May 31, and June 2, as well as the Bursaqaz officebuilding in Bursa on May 24, pose a serious threat to the lives ofour staff.
We conduct all our operations in accordance with internationalbusiness agreements and the vision set forth by our head office,the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR). In thiscontext, allegations that SOCAR is currently selling crude oil toIsrael are unfounded and are deliberately intended to misleadpublic opinion.
The global oil market has its own complexities, and the sale ofcrude oil is carried out through trading companies. Supplyingcompanies, including SOCAR, do not have the ability to control ordictate the destination and usage of the crude oil once it is sold, like other oil companies, sells its products through tradingrelationships with relevant trading companies. Therefore, it isimpossible for us to control or interfere with the finaldestination and usage of the crude oil supplied by SOCAR," thecompany stated.
