Hungary in talks to buy Turkish gas - MoFA

MTI
Turkey is a reliable and predictable transit partner, without which Hungary's secure energy supply could not be guaranteed, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó said in Ankara on Wednesday.

Péter Szijjártó stressed that the government is counting on Turkey's transit role in the future, as an agreement on the purchase of natural gas from Azerbaijan is being outlined, which would also require this transport route.

the minister also said that negotiations are under way with the Turkish energy company Botas on the purchase of Turkish natural gas.

Finally, he pointed out that nuclear energy is also an important segment of energy cooperation, especially given that the two countries are building power plants with the same technology.

He stressed that the new reactor units in Turkey's Akkuyu nuclear power plant will certainly come on stream sooner and this will provide important experience for Hungary, which will all be used when the new units come on stream in Hungary at the end of the decade (Paks II), the beginning of the next decade.
