"To resume regular - forward - transportation in the Odessa-Brody pipeline, there should be about 4,5-5 million tons of oil in the market every year," he said. The Head of State added there should also be enough technical oil to fill Ukrainian pipelines. He said Ukraine's oil refineries in Nadvirna and Drohobych were capable of purifying that much crude. Mr. Yushchenko said Ukraine and Azerbaijan could also construct a new refinery and transport oil through the Druzhba pipeline to Slovakia and the Czech Republic. In his turn, Mr. Aliyev said, as a new powerful oil producer, Azerbaijan was going to diversify its supplies, particularly by cooperating with Ukraine.
