On February 3, 2006 there was an enterprise
at the Park Inn Baku hotel, dedicated to the summary of work of
the Turkish energy distributing company, Barmek Azerbaijan. The
unusual thing of this enterprise for independent Azerbaijan is that
no other company (weather state, private or stock company) had ever
represented to the public such a large industrial and financial
report. Without exaggerating we can say that the report surpasses
in content the report of the oil industry giant, BP-Azerbaijan.
Huseyn Arabul the president of Barmek Azerbaijan, in his presentation
has reported the company started its work in Azerbaijan on January
1, 2002 when the beginning of the management of Baku Electric Net
started. That same year the company also took over energy distributing
nets of Sumgait city and the northern regions of the country. The
concluded treaty with the ministry of Economic Development of Azerbaijan
has juridical power over the next 25 years.

By the summery of 2005 the company received from ACG "Azerenergy",
a monopolist-producer of electric energy in the country, 10.96 million
KWH of electric energy for a sum of 918 bln 838,23 mln manat ($
194,3 mln). In comparison with the last year the size of the received
