(ANSA-AFP) - SOFIA, JAN 3 - Bulgaria on Tuesday signed a
long-term deal for access to Turkey's liquefied natural gas
(LNG) terminals and transit network, in a move to secure
alternatives after Russia cut off deliveries in April. The
agreement between Bulgaria's state-owned gas operator Bulgargaz
and Turkish state gas firm Botas will allow the EU nation to
unload LNG at its neighbour's gas terminals and use the Botas
network to transport gas. "Thanks to this agreement we secure
the possibility to buy gas from all international producers and
unload it in Turkey, where it's most convenient for us
logistically," Bulgaria's interim Energy Minister Rosen Hristov
said after the deal was signed. (ANSA-AFP).
