Türkiye is navigating consecutive energy crises through a multilayered set of policies, experienced management and strategic vision put forward, which have allowed it to turn challenges into opportunities, according to a top official.
Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar penned an article for Turkish daily Sabah newspaper ahead of the second edition of the Istanbul Natural Resources Summit (INRES 2026), set to take place on Friday.
The summit is being organized by Türkiye's leading media group and Daily Sabah's parent company, Turkuvaz Media, under the auspices of the Energy and Natural Resources Ministry.
In the article published on Thursday, Bayraktar evaluated Türkiye's energy strategies, steps taken in recent years and goals, including that of "new energy architecture," as well as becoming a "net exporter" in the boron field.
"The last six years will go down in history as a period in which successive crises have left deep marks on the energy sector on a global scale. As the war to our north, whose heavy burden on energy markets was felt from the very first day, enters its fourth year, a new crisis in our south, said to have produced the most dramatic effects in the history of global energy markets, has now entered its third month," Bayraktar wrote.
