Speaking to reporters in Istanbul after performing Friday prayers at
Hz Ali Mosque, Turkish President
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stressed in his comments: "We will extract our
natural gas on April 20, if possible. At the moment, all plans and calculations are accordingly."
"After that, we will have already taken our steps by
integrating this with the existing
natural gas," Erdoğan added.
Türkiye announced its first natural gas discovery -- the world's largest offshore find in 2020 -- in the Black Sea about three years ago in the Tuna-1 well. It made another discovery in 2021 in the Amasra-1 well.
