OREANDA-NEWS Turkey has started using gas from the Sakarya field in the Black Sea. At the same time, the country still plans to continue importing fuel, including from Russia. This was announced by Melih Khan Bilgin, CEO of the Turkish Oil Company (TPAO).
"You know that 99.5 percent of natural gas needs are met by supplies from abroad. Not only from Russia, there are also other suppliers," he said, expressing confidence that Turkey will both sell and buy fuel.
In addition, according to Bilgin, the supply of gas from Sakarya will provide Ankara with the opportunity to negotiate with foreign partners on discounts on purchased gas.
Earlier, Elmira Imamkuliyeva, senior lecturer at the Faculty of World Economy and World Politics at the HSE, said that Turkey has become a hub of Russian gas. She pointed out that Moscow has significantly increased the supply of energy resources to Ankara despite the pressure of Western countries.
