"Turkish, Greek PMs to inaugurate joint gas pipeline

ISTANBUL, Turkey: The premiers of Turkey and Greece will inaugurate a natural gas pipeline this weekend to connect natural gas fields in the Caspian and Central Asian regions with energy-hungry markets in Europe.

Just over two years ago, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Greek counterpart, Costas Karamanlis, met on a bridge across the river that divides their countries to launch the joint construction of the 300-kilometer (186-mile) pipeline from Bursa, Turkey, to Komotini in Greece."
