Turkmenistan and Türkiye Explore Strategic Energy Cooperation at Istanbul Energy Forum
Istanbul, The Gulf Observer: On Saturday, the Chairman of the State Concern Türkmengaz met with Türkiye’s Minister of Energy, Alparslan Bayraktar, on the sidelines of the Istanbul Energy Forum. The meeting focused on exploring joint energy projects involving Turkish state companies BOTAS and TPAO in Turkmenistan’s oil and gas fields.
According to official Turkish media, both sides discussed expanding bilateral cooperation in the oil and gas sector and deliberated on alternative routes for transporting Turkmen gas to Europe via Turkish territory.
