Turkish Officials Highlight LNG Ambitions

Turkey is readying itself for an increase in LNG demand and is working to supply surplus gas from Russia and Azerbaijan to the European market, Yashar Arslan, president of the Turkish Natural Gas Distributors Association said to Interfax.

• “With the change in legislation, Turkey has set its sights on liquefying the natural gas it imports or produces from its own sources and exporting it," Arslan said.
• "Thanks to its location, Turkey is in the middle of the 'bridge' between natural gas demand and supply. Our location will allow us to quickly deliver excess volumes of natural gas that Russia and Azerbaijan may have, in particular, to countries willing to import it,” Arslan said.
