Turkmen Gas to Flow to Turkey: Agreement Reached After 27 Years of Negotiations
Turkey and Turkmenistan have finally concluded decades-long negotiations on gas supplies. Starting from March 1, 2025, Ankara will receive Turkmen gas directly, bypassing Russia.
What Will Change?
Previously, the only route for exporting Turkmen gas to Europe was through Russian infrastructure. Now, Turkey will gain direct access to Turkmenistan's resources, shifting the energy balance in the region.
Why Is This Important?
- Turkey’s Energy Independence – Ankara aims to reduce its dependence on Russian gas and diversify suppliers.
- Turkmenistan’s Market Expansion – Ashgabat has long sought alternative export routes to lessen Moscow’s influence.
- Geopolitical Implications – The deal could strain Turkey-Russia relations as it weakens Gazprom’s dominance in the region.
How Will the Gas Be Transported?
The exact route has not yet been disclosed, but possible options include:
— The Trans-Caspian Pipeline through Azerbaijan.
— Liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments across the Caspian Sea.
What’s Next?
This agreement reshapes the energy landscape of Eurasia. Turkey is becoming a key hub for Turkmen gas, while Ashgabat secures direct access to European markets without intermediaries.
