Turkey and Syria sign mutual energy and pipeline accord

Mon, 3 March 2008

JANUARY 14 saw the signature by Turkey and Syria of an agreement aimed at enhancing co-operation between their two countries in a number of fields, including a major pipeline development. After the signing ceremony, Turkish Energy Minister Hilmi Guler said the agreement included a pipeline that would carry Egyptian gas from the Syrian town of Aleppo to Turkey’s SE town of Kilis, and possibly on to European markets if a link-up with the European Union-sponsored Nabucco pipeline scheme becomes feasible.

Turkey will have the right to take as much as 1.5bn cum of gas for its domestic needs from the 99-km long pipeline, and Turkish contractors will participate in the tenders for line construction, bids for which are due by 20 February.
