'Turkish authorities will make their own decisions about country's energy future,' said Ross Wilson, U.S. Ambassador to Turkey, regarding the energy deal between Turkey and Iran.

Commenting on Turkey's deal with its neighbor Iran, Wilson said, 'Turkey's preliminary memorandum of understanding (MoU) on possible gas cooperation is of concern for two reasons. First, a MoU could seriously set back the work that Turkey and the U.S. have been doing for a decade to develop Caspian Basin gas resources as well as a pipeline infrastructure to bring those resources to Turkey and to international markets.'"
