Kyiv • UNN
By the end of the year, Turkey will receive 1.3 billion cubic meters of Turkmen gas through Iran. This is the first pipeline gas supply in 20 years from a country with which Turkey has no common border.
By the end of this year, the planned volume of Turkmen gas to be supplied to Turkey will amount to 1.3 billion cubic meters. This is reported by Haber7, according to UNN.

It is noted that the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources of Turkey Alparslan Bayraktar said this during a visit to Indonesia as part of an official delegation led by President Erdogan.
I hope that during the supply process, which will last until the end of the year, we will offer 1.3 billion cubic meters of natural gas to users in Turkey,
According to him, Turkey seeks to differentiate and diversify gas supplies.
We want to supply gas from different countries. This is part of the plan. In this sense, we have actually been able to receive gas from different countries in the form of LNG through gasification facilities for a long time,
The start of gas supplies from Turkmenistan has its own peculiarity: for the first time in more than 20 years, Turkey will receive gas via a pipeline from a country with which it has no common border.
Turkmenistan will supply gas to Iran, while Turkey will receive it through the Gurbulak checkpoint on the Iranian-Turkish border.
According to the minister, in the future it is advisable to build a pipeline across the Caspian Sea. This will make it possible to supply much larger volumes of gas to both Turkey and Europe.
Recall
Turkey seeks to resume energy negotiations with the EU and become an alternative route for gas supplies. The country could expand the Southern Gas Corridor and connect it to Mediterranean gas.
