Turkey aims to buy extra 6 Bcm of liquefied natural gas, including some from Qatar, under long-term contracts to meet its growing energy needs, Reuters reported, citing Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildiz.
He said that the country is already in negotiations with Qatar, but Qatar may not provide all of the additional LNG, therefore Turkey could also buy LNG from the United States if the latter is willing to sell.
The Minister also recently said that his country will discuss building an LNG terminal with Qatar on its Aegean coast.
