Turkey resumes gas imports from Iran

 

Turkey’s Energy Minister Taner Yildiz says the country has resumed the imports of natural gas from Iran after a halt caused by technical difficulties, Press TV reports.

“There would not be any shortage of natural gas, for the country’s residential as well as industrial areas," Yildiz said, adding the volume of Iran’s gas transfer to Turkey is satisfactory.

Yildiz said Iranian technical experts have made the needed repairs to the relevant pump, adding Iran’s natural gas flow to Turkey will increase in stages.

He said the problem in importing Azerbaijan’s natural gas has also been resolved.

The supply of natural gas from Iran and Azerbaijan to Turkey fell on Tuesday due to technical glitches in both countries’ compressor stations.
