AP: Cyprus could supply gas to Bulgaria

Bulgaria's foreign minister said Monday that Cyprus could supply his country and other central European nations with natural gas to lessen the region's heavy dependence on Russian deliveries.

Kristian Vigenin said that Cyprus could be key to an envisioned "north-south corridor" supplying gas to central Europe via Greece.

"Cyprus can play an important role in the project delivering gas to (liquefied natural gas) terminals in Greece and then from there this can bring gas up to Bulgaria, Romania and central Europe," Vigenin said after talks with his Cypriot counterpart Ioannis Kasoulides.
