ANKARA - ''Lebanon asked for oil products from Turkey urgently,'' Turkish State Minister Kursad Tuzmen said on Saturday.
Replying to the questions of A.A correspondent, Tuzmen said, ''because of the ongoing war, Lebanon can not import oil products through sea. To this end, Lebanon demanded oil products from Turkey through highway.''
''Turkish companies are currently carrying out necessary preparations. There is no need for permission. It seems that the shipment will be made via Syria. Turkish authorities talk to Syrian authorities on the issue.''
