Alexander Rar: Turkey can grow into gas sellerDecember 24, 2010 - 12:04 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Aspired to become the main distributor of Russian and Central Asian gas to Europe, Turkey is interested in purchase of gas from Iran, Iraq and Caspian countries, according to a German expert. “Turkey’s geographical location allows to grow from an ideal transit country into a gas seller, being a winner in the struggle for Nabucco and South Stream,” Alexander Rar said, quoted by Trend News. “This will strengthen positions of the country as a bridge between Asia and Europe. Time will show whether Turkey can succeed,” he added. Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert. On June 10, Azerbaijani President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev will leave for Turkey on a working visit. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev arrived in Moscow on April 22 to hold talks with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. Authorities said a total of 192 Azerbaijani troops were killed and 511 were wounded during Azerbaijan’s offensive. Partner news |
