TÜRKİYE: THE STRONGEST AND MOST RELIABLE PARTNER IN THE REGION

 

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT AT THE GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY FOR TUZ GÖLÜ NATURAL GAS STORAGE EXPANSION PROJECT

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in his message sent for the Groundbreaking Ceremony of BOTAŞ Tuz Gölü Natural Gas Storage Expansion Project, stated the following:

“Distinguished executives of the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, valuable members of BOTAŞ, IC İçtaş and CAMCE companies, esteemed friends, I greet you with the most heartfelt feelings, and in the person of Mr. Minister, I extend my thanks to you all for your kind invitation.

I pray my God that the BOTAŞ Tuz Gölü Natural Gas Storage Expansion Project, of which we will hold the groundbreaking ceremony today, will be auspicious for our nation.

We are pulling out all the stops in order to solve the problems which might tie us down, curb our mobility on the way to being "Great and Powerful Türkiye".

Although our natural gas reserves are limited; this is never an obstruction for Türkiye to establish a strong natural gas infrastructure and become a natural gas importing country in future.

Türkiye Has Secured Its Natural Gas Supply to a Great Extent

With the strategic steps we have taken in recent years such as FSRU, LNG, natural gas storage facilities, international pipelines, Türkiye has secured its natural gas supply to a great extent. With moves as such, Türkiye has further strengthened its already robust place in turbulent global energy markets which are not independent from political, economic, geopolitical and cyclical developments.

With the new projects we will implement in the field of natural gas in the upcoming period, we will move closer to our target of being a hub. For implementing global energy projects, Türkiye will always be the strongest and most reliable partner in the region, not only with its geopolitical location, but also with its know-how, experience, political stability and strong economy.”

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan concluded his message by wishing success to BOTAŞ officials and contractors, and Fatih Dönmez, the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, who put great efforts in the implementation of the project.
