Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated that, thanks to the TurkStream pipeline, his country has not faced major problems with gas supplies, unlike Europe, due to the conflict in Ukraine.
President Erdoğan, in his address at the Energy Efficiency Forum in Istanbul, said:
"We are diversifying our gas sources. Having a single source of supply and a single route in supply logistics carries serious risks. In the first months of the war between Russia and Ukraine, our European friends personally experienced these difficulties. Thanks to TurkStream, we were one of the countries that survived this period with the fewest losses."
