Turkey Suspends Iran Gas Imports Due to Technical Problem

Turkey's gas importing company Botas has temporarily suspended gas imports from Iran because of a technical problem in a pressure boosting station in Turkish territory.
According to Iran’s Oil Ministry, there was a leakage in the pipeline that transfers gas to Turkey that was fixed in Bazargan in West Azarbaijan Province on Thursday, but then Botas announced that there was a technical problem in one of its pressure boosting stations, due to which it would not able to receive gas from Iran over the next few days, ISNA reported.
Botas’s decision has added to Ankara's winter woes, as demand for gas outpaces supply.
