Turkey could propose to Russia the construction of an integrated energy complex including an LNG terminal at its border with Greece, as part of talks for a planned new natural gas pipeline with its northern neighbor, Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said.
Calling the new pipeline plan "Turkish Stream," in reference to the scrapped South Stream project, Yildiz said Turkey would study the new pipeline plan with Russia.
"We can do this project, but it will not be a transit project," Yildiz told a Bosphorus Energy Club meeting in Istanbul.
"We have proposals on this and perhaps including an LNG terminal, the construction of an integrated energy complex could be on the table," he said.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
