Press TV: Iran ready to supply natural gas to Europe: Minister
Iranian Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh says his country plans to play a significant role on the world gas market.
“Iran has the biggest gas reserves in the world. We don’t want to compete with Russia. We know that Europe’s demand for natural gas is growing, and we just want to get our share (of the market),” he said in an exclusive interview with leading German-language business newspaper Handelsblatt in Berlin on Monday.
He noted that the Islamic Republic could be a "reliable and long-term” energy partner for Europe.
Nematzadeh further stated that Iran is currently working on a large-scale project to build a gas pipeline that will supply natural gas to the Turkish border and further to Western countries.
