At the informal summit of heads of state of the Organization of Turkic States held in Shusha, Azerbaijan, Turkish Vice-President Cevdet Yilmaz said that Turkmen gas supplies via Turkey would contribute to Europe's energy security.
"The transport of trans-Caspian resources, especially Turkmen natural gas, to Turkey and Europe will contribute to both our national welfare and Europe's energy security. We are pleased with the establishment of an energy mechanism within the OTS and support the development of joint projects," Yılmaz said.
According to him, the organization will further strengthen ties between Turkic states at a time when the world's economic centers of gravity are changing and the importance of Turkic geography is growing.
"The work to be done by our countries to develop the Middle Corridor will both strengthen our cooperation and show the global role of the Turkic world," the vice president emphasized.
