ISTANBUL/ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey's strategic importance to Europe as an energy corridor is set to grow over the next decade as it pushes ahead with plans for a series of oil and gas pipelines across the country.
Turkey will inaugurate one of the pipelines on Thursday, officially opening a $3.9-billion, BP-led oil corridor from Azerbaijan's Baku to the Turkish port Ceyhan, which is already the terminal for a pipeline from Iraq's Kirkuk fields."
