Turkey is convinced that Iran will not close the Strait of Hormuz, which moved to world markets, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.
"The closure of the Strait of Hormuz will create a big problem. We are confident that Iran will not take such a step. The last tension once again reminded us of how important the security of the power supply is, "Erdogan told reporters after returning from the NATO summit. His words quoted TRT HABER channel.
"Two days ago, there was rumors that Iran" turned off Turkish gas. " I immediately discussed this issue with my Minister of Energy, and he contacted his Iranian counterpart. In fact, there is no such situation.
We also talked about Iranian President Massoud Pezeshki. We don't even think that the situation can be created in which the supply of natural gas from Iran will be stopped. We have no problem, "said the Turkish leader.
According to Erdogan, Turkey seeks to reduce energy imports and increase production to become completely independent in the energy sector.
