“If the parties agree, we can <...> play a constructive role in overcoming the energy crisis. Today we have two LNG terminals at sea and three on land, thanks to which we can supply about 40 billion cubic meters of gas per year to Europe if necessary,” the minister said.
According to Donmez, Turkiye receives liquefied gas mainly from the Persian Gulf countries, as well as from Egypt, Algeria, Nigeria and occasionally from the US.
