Türkiye plans to strengthen its energy ties with Iraq through oil, natural gas, and electricity projects, the country’s Deputy Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Ahmet Berat Conkar, said at the Baghdad International Energy Forum.
Conkar noted that the Kirkuk-Ceyhan Oil Pipeline has been in operation since the 1970s and discussions are currently underway to restore its full capacity. “We have been informed that negotiations between international oil companies, the Kurdistan Regional Government, and the Baghdad central government are nearing conclusion. God willing, once these issues are resolved, we expect the pipeline to operate at full capacity,” he said.
The Turkish official added that, alongside the oil pipeline, cooperation is also being explored in natural gas, electricity, and the Development Road Project. “The energy potential with Iraq is far greater than in the past. Work is ongoing to establish the necessary infrastructure,” Conkar emphasised.
He underlined that the aim is to make energy cooperation a driver of regional stability and prosperity. “We are striving to advance both our energy transformation and our long-standing relations with Iraq to a new phase,” he said.
