12:34 - 3.05.2024


May 3, Fineko/abc.az. The Turkish parliament has passed a bill, allowing to sell imported natural gas in the liquefied form (LNG).

The bill was submitted to parliament in January.

ABC.AZ reports that its adoption paves the way to creating LNG plants and solidifies the legislative basis aimed at turning Türkiye into an international gas trade hub.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said in late December 2023 that the project of a gas hub in Türkiye might start being implemented in 2024, with the roadmap on the project to be passed shortly.

Earlier, a Turkish delegation visited Russia to discuss details of the project.
