Turkish minister: Peace required for energy projects with Israel.


Turkish minister: Peace required for energy projects with Israel. (HD). HT: Blazingcatfur.

Turkey will not pursue any energy projects with Israel until permanent peace is established in the region, Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yıldız has said.

“We try to use energy projects as requirements of peace. We never talk about the economic feasibility of a project without political feasibility. Our national policy is based on this understanding,” Yıldız said, ahead of the “Mediterranean Energy Perspectives - Turkey Report” introduction meeting in Ankara.

He also denied claims that Turkey was used as a transit country for Israeli natural gas. “Without a permanent ceasefire that would satisfy all sides, we cannot think of any energy projects with Israel,” he said. Hmmm....yup that's why Erdogan's BFF just approved delivery of top of the line torpedoes to Turkey, patrolling Cypriot and Israeli gasfields i guess? Or hunt 'Dolphins'?Read the full story here.
