Turkey - Greece Natural Gas Agreement

ANKARA - Bill on approval of agreement on construction of a natural gas connection between Turkey and Greece and supply of natural gas from Turkey to Greece, was presented to the Parliament Speaker's Office on Tuesday.
The agreement which was signed in Salonica on February 23, 3003 aims at realization of Turkey-Greece Natural Gas Pipeline Project.
The project foresees at first stage to supply a part of Greece's natural gas demand via Turkey, and to transfer natural gas in following years to southeast and central European countries via Turkey and Greece.
