Iraq - Turkey Pipeline Expected To Start Operating On Wednesday

ANKARA - The flow of oil which stopped due to the sabotage on Kirkuk-Yumurtalýk oil pipeline, is expected to start again on Wednesday.
The repair of one of the damaged pipelines due to the bombed attack in north of Iraq is about to finish and it is expected to start functioning again on Wednesday.
Kirkuk-Yumurtalýk crude oil pipeline which transported limited amount of oil after the Gulf Crisis, didn't function after the U.S. intervention in Iraq.
The pumping of the oil from the pipeline started at 4.30 p.m. on August 13, Wednesday. There are nearly one million barrels of oil in depots of Yumurtalýk installations.
