Turkey is turning into a major gas hub that foreign countries rely on thanks to its balanced policy on the Ukrainian conflict, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.
"Turkey’s balanced policy [on the Ukrainian conflict] has been welcomed worldwide. Had we listened to the critics, we would have to think about how to survive the coming winter just like Europeans. However, Ankara has chosen a different path, and we have no problems with gas," Erdogan said at a domestic event, as quoted by the Turkish news agency Anadolu.
The president noted that "foreign countries pin their hopes on Turkey as it is turning into a major gas hub."
