Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday that the trilateral summit between Turkey, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan this week will focus on Ankara’s plans to carry Turkmen gas to Turkey and from there to Europe amid Russian supply cuts.
“This summit is mainly aimed at taking this step on natural gas,” Erdogan said in a televised presser Tuesday before his departure for Turkmenistan. “My hope is bringing Turkmen gas through the Caspian sea.”
