Turkey Unhappy with Nabucco Delays
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Wednesday complained about the delay in the Nabucco gas pipeline project.
“We say we are ready for everything, but those playing the coordination role have not yet come up with serious action,” said Erdoğan, speaking at the Black Sea Energy and Economic Forum organized by the Atlantic Council.
Talking about the supply, transit and consumption dimension of natural gas, Erdoğan said the supply dimension of the project is still missing.
“Each day that passes is to the disadvantage of the project,” he said.
The Nabucco project will contribute to the diversification of energy resources and routes of Europe, he said. “The European Union is supporting the project, but we are waiting for implementation.”
