Turkish Press: Turkey realized EU dream through energy: Latvia ambassador

Turkey has realized the European dream of natural gas diversification without becoming a member of the European Union, according to Latvian Ambassador to Turkey, Iran and Iraq, Atis Sjanits.

"There is no doubt that Turkey is becoming more important as an energy transit country. I’m an ambassador of three countries and I follow these energy files. Turkey is becoming the main southern transit hub for natural gas, maybe also for oil," Sjanits said.

According to Sjanits, the latest Turkish government showed that Turks might see the European dream becoming true without being an EU member.

"You have realized the European dream of EU diversification of natural gas. Russia, Azerbaijan and Iran's supplies of gas to Turkey and Russia have increased Turkey's supplies.
