Erdogan and Aliyev are expected to visit Turkmenistan in December

Turkish and Azerbaijani Presidents Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Ilham Aliyev will visit Turkmenistan in early December. Erdogan said this in a press statement made at the airport before leaving for the summit of G-20 leaders in Bali, Indonesia, Turkish media reported.

"I intend to discuss this issue (the issue of the gas hub project) with the leaders of Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan at the beginning of the coming month during my visit to Turkmenistan. I hope for good results," Erdogan said at a briefing in Istanbul.

We should add that the Turkmenistan-Azerbaijan-Türkiye summit has been under preparation since February 2021. Later it became known that it would be held in August 2021, but it was postponed again at Erdogan's request due to forest fires in northern Türkiye. It is expected that one of the central topics of the talks of the three presidents will be the discussion of the possibility of withdrawal of Turkmen energy resources to Europe.
