Turkey-Syria energy cooperation
“A delegation from the Ministry of Energy will visit Syria as soon as possible and carry out inspections of Syria’s electricity and energy infrastructure,” Bayraktar told reporters.
As Reuters reports, a Turkish delegation will also discuss energy cooperation with the new Syrian government and Turkey’s possible assistance in the matter, Bayraktar added.
“The main problem in Syria in the energy sector right now is the lack of electricity. A formula will be sought for (Turkey) to provide electricity to Syria,” he added.
Erdogan said last week that Ankara would do whatever it takes to rebuild Syria, including improving energy relations.
Turkey already supplies electricity to some parts of northern Syria, where it has conducted four military operations since 2016.
