PanARMENIAN : Turkey picks TANAP project over Nabucco

Turkey is no longer fully supporting the European Union-backed Nabucco pipeline project to carry Caspian gas to Europe, and is instead prioritizing its own rival TANAP project, an Energy Ministry spokesman told dpa Monday, January 30.

The spokesman confirmed that Turkey remains part of the six-country consortium backing Nabucco, but that it was now prioritizing the development of the Trans Anatolian Pipeline Project (TANAP), which it is promoting in partnership with Azerbaijan. MORE
