    ANKARA — Turkey has signed a deal for the construction of a pipeline to transport crude oil.   

    Turkey signed an oil pipeline agreement with Italy and Russia. The accord, inked on Oct. 19, was meant to transport crude oil from the Black Sea to the Turkish port in Ceyhan along the Mediterranean Sea.

    The 550-kilometer pipeline would be built by Italy's Eni and Turkey's Calik Enerji.

    Officials said the estimated $1.5 billion project would be completed by 2012.

    The pipeline, with a capacity of one million barrels per day, was meant to ease traffic in the Bosphorus Strait.
