Development Minister Dimitris Sioufas and Turkey’s Energy and Natural Resources Minister Mehmed Hilmi Guler attended on Friday the connecting of Greece and Turkey’s natural gas networks at the Kipoi border post on the Evros River.
Sioufas said the project would be completed in 15 days’ time, when it will be inaugurated by the two countries’ prime ministers. The pipeline is 300 kilometers long and 87 km have already been constructed on its Greek leg, valued at 82 million euros. “It is a project of immense importance for the economy, growth and energy for both countries,” Sioufas said.
