Trend: TANAP project to accelerate Nabucco project implementation

The Trans-Anatolian gas pipeline project (TANAP) will accelerate implementation of the Nabucco project, Turkish Energy and Natural Resources Minister Taner Yildiz said in an interview with the Hazar World magazine.

He said that Turkey continues to support the Nabucco project which, together with the TANAP project, aims at diversifying gas supplies to Europe and opening up new markets for Caspian gas.

Yildiz said the TANAP project will act as a bridge linking energy sources in the east with a growing consumer market in the west.

Yildiz also said that Turkey is ready to act as a gas supply corridor from Iraq to Europe. Furthermore, Turkey continues to work on the implementation of the Egyptian gas supply project to European markets through Jordan via the Pan-Arab gas pipeline.     MORE
