    ❗️Turkiye says proposed gas pipeline with Turkish Cypriots could power all of Cyprus

    Turkish Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said a proposed natural gas pipeline connecting Turkiye with the breakaway Turkish Cypriot community could eventually supply electricity to the entire island of Cyprus.

    Announced earlier this year, the project involves constructing a mostly subsea, 101-kilometer pipeline to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) to supply the community with natural gas. Ankara says the infrastructure could also eventually be connected to Europe.

    Speaking to international media representatives in Istanbul on Thursday, Bayraktar said Turkiye plans to transport gas to the island to fuel a power plant, allowing the Turkish Cypriot administration to generate its own electricity. If an agreement is reached between the two sides, the TRNC could eventually supply some of that electricity to the Greek Cypriot government.

    “If we find some gas or someone else can find some in ​the eastern Mediterranean, they ​can use ⁠this pipeline with the reverse flow and they can bring the gas to the island and from the island to ​Turkey and to the European market,” he said.

    Bayraktar also said Ankara remained open to energy cooperation with Greece.
