The National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Khalk Maslakhaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov announced about possible gas supplies to Turkey and Europe, transmits "Kommersant".

On Friday, March 1, the head of Turkmenistan's supreme body of people's power went on a working visit to Turkey to participate in the third Antalya Diplomatic Forum.

On the margins of the international conference, the head of Halk Maslakhaty Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov said that gas from Turkmenistan can be supplied to Turkey and Europe via the Caspian Sea or Azerbaijan, for which the countries also need to sign an agreement. As an alternative option, the National Leader of the Turkmen people called supplies via Iran.
