Speaking to reporters after a trip to Azerbaijan, Davutoğlu also said the government was considering structural measures to compensate for the economic impact of Russian sanctions and that it could support affected companies in sectors including tourism and agriculture.
Turkey, which has been seeking to diversify its sources of imported energy to decrease its dependence on Russia, may buy more than the planned 6 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas from the Trans-Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP) from Azerbaijan, Davutoğlu also said.

Turkey Agrees with Azerbaijan to Accelerate Gas Project...
ReplyDeleteTurkey has agreed with Azerbaijan to accelerate the Trans-Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP), with an aim to have the gas project completed before the planned 2018, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on December 3, as quoted by Reuters.
In a joint news conference with Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev in the capital Baku, Davutoglu also said Turkey was willing to share details of its recent jet downing incident with Russia.
This was the latest move by Turkey’s leaders, who are in an effort to diversify energy supplies as ties with its largest natural gas provider Russia have tumbled following the downing of a Russian warplane by Turkey.
Earlier this week President Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited Qatar to explore the possibility of buying more liquefied natural gas (LNG) from its Gulf Arab ally.
Turkey’s gas grid BOTAS and Qatar’s national oil energy company inked a memorandum of understanding during Erdogan’s visit on December 2 which will pave the way for Turkey to import LNG in both a regular and long-term manner, according to Turkish officials.
This accord will help Turkey’s LNG imports from Qatar gain a long-term perspective, the officials said, as reported by Anadolu Agency............http://asbarez.com/142444/turkey-agrees-with-azerbaijan-to-accelerate-gas-project/
