Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yıldız said Turkey could propose an LNG terminal in an energy complex on its border with Greece.
Speaking at the Bosphorus energy club meeting, Yıldız told that, following talks with Russia that stopped the construction of the South Stream pipeline, an LNG terminal could be also included in the plans for a new pipeline from Russia to Turkey, as Reuters reports.
Earlier this month, Russian President, Vladimir Putin told that Russia will turn its attention to expanding the Blue Stream pipeline and building another pipeline in order to cover the growing needs of Turkish economy. He added that, if it is deemed expedient, Russia could build an additional gas hub for the South European consumers on Turkish territory, near the border with Greece.
