Turkmenistan renews call for gas pipeline to Europe

ASHGABAT: Turkmenistan renewed its call Friday for the creation of a pipeline linking its vast gas fields to Europe, a long-mooted project that would require significant foreign investment. The idea of a Trans-Caspian gas pipeline to Europe has been discussed since the 1990s but has been hindered by financial and logistical hurdles. “We’re always interested in diversifying export routes, including the Trans-Caspian route to Europe,” the chair of state-owned gas company Turkmengaz, Maksat Babayev, told AFP.
