Turkish gas imports from Iran unaffected by deals with Iraq
Sunday, 27 May 2012
Tehran Times cited Mr Taner Yildiz Turkish Minister of Energy and Natural Resources as saying that Turkey’s imports of natural gas from Iraq will in no way affect the country’s imports of the energy source from Iran.
Mr Yildiz pointed to his country’s growing demand for energy, stressing that natural gas imports from Iraq's semi autonomous Kurdistan region will not affect the imports from Iran. Turkey’s resumption of oil imports from Iraq comes after ceasing the purchases in 2007. The country is set to buy between 48 billion cubic meters and 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas from northern Iraq annually.
