Turkish Energy & Natural Resources Minister Taner Yildiz said that natural gas flow from Turkey to Greece began on Friday.

Yildiz told reporters that winter conditions were very heavy in Turkey and especially in Europe this year, however, Turkey did not have any difficulty in energy.

Noting that he received a call from his Greek counterpart two days ago, Yildiz said that he was touched by the difficult conditions in Greece, thus, natural gas flow began from Turkey to Greece yesterday.

Yildiz said that the pressure of natural gas flowing from Turkey to Greece reduced due to problems in Azerbaijani and Iranian natural gas pipelines last week, adding that Turkey had not been able to transfer natural gas to Greece.

Yildiz said that at least 600 people died due to heavy winter conditions in Europe.
