Trend: Turkish TPAO Considers Turkmenistan’s Proposal on TAPI

Turkish Petroleum Corporation (TPAO) is considering Turkmenistan’s proposal on the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline project, TPAO said in an exclusive interview with Trend August 11.

The fact that President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov invited Turkish companies to participate in the implementation of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India gas pipeline is an attractive proposal, the corporation said.

"At present, Turkmenistan's proposal is under consideration," TRAO said.

During his visit to Turkey on August 10, President Berdimuhamedov invited Turkish companies to participate in the TAPI gas pipeline project implementation.

The basic document for the promotion of TAPI is the Ashgabat interstate agreement signed between the participating states in 2010 on starting the practical implementation of this project. MORE
