TURKEY RECEIVES FIRST SHIPMENT OF AZERI GAS
ANKARA — Turkey has received its first shipment of natural gas from
Azerbaijan.
The gas arrived in Turkey on July 3 through the Shakh Deniz pipeline.
The $4 billion pipeline, operated by Turkey's Botas and Norway's Statoil,
was delayed because of technical mishaps.
The Deniz pipeline project was meant to reduce Turkish and European
Union dependency on Russia. The Azeri gas would be supplied to Greece and
Italy.

In a later stage, the pipeline would be connected to the Nabucco
pipeline. Nabucco, supported by the European Union, has still not been
completed.
