ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan, October 22. Türkiye intends to significantly increase supplies of Turkmen natural gas and strengthen cooperation with partners in the region, said Abdulvahid Fidan, the Managing Director of the Turkish company BOTAŞ, Trend reports.
He made the announcement at the International Conference and Exhibition “Oil and Gas of Turkmenistan - 2025.”
Fidan recalled that in March this year, Turkey began importing Turkmen gas for the first time, calling it a historic event for both countries.
“Now our goal is to make this project long-term and large-scale, turning Turkey into a reliable route for supplying Turkmen gas to international markets,” Fidan said.
