Hurriyet: Hungary ‘open to launching gas projects with Turkey'
Turkey will play a great role in maintaining the region’s energy security and Hungary is open to starting negotiations to cooperate with it in future energy projects, Hungarian Foreign and External Trade Minister Peter Szijjarto has said.
“After Russia scrapped the South Stream project, it started planning to carry gas to European markets via Turkey. We are looking forward to seeing Turkey’s final evaluation of the project. If it agrees to buy this gas, we want to start negotiations with Turkey. We want to talk about how we can carry some of the gas from Turkey to Central Europe together,” Szijjarto said on Jan. 26, speaking in a joint press meeting in Ankara with his Turkish counterpart Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu.
