Speaking to reporters in Ankara, Yildiz said: "We hope that natural gas
[from Azerbaijan] will reach Turkey around 10:00 pm local time."
On Wednesday, an official for BP PLC (BP), which runs the Shah Deniz platform
in Azerbaijan that distributes resources to Turkey through the Baku-Ceyhan
pipeline, said the problem had been resolved and normal supply would resume
Wednesday afternoon.
A Turkish government official told television channel CNBC-e that the technical
issue with Iran's supply to Turkey had also been resolved and supply would
normalize by midday Wednesday.
Tuesday's gas flow into Turkey from Azerbaijan and Iran dropped to a daily 6
million to 7 million cubic meters from the usual 40 mcm after cold weather
caused technical issues with gas compressors.

Energy Minister Yildiz said Tuesday that the problems would be resolved
