Libya discussed selling more oil to Turkey in a meeting in Istanbul , the country's oil minister said Thursday as buyers of Iranian oil search for replacements.

Speaking to Dow Jones Newswires after exiting a meeting with Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yildaz,
Libya 's Abdulrahman Benyezza said: "We are open on the market. We will provide oil where there is an opportunity."

The meeting took place on the side of an international energy summit.

Turkey 's national oil company, Tupras, said last month it had cut its purchases of oil from Iran by 20% as Western nations tighten sanctions against Tehran over its nuclear program.

Separately,
Awad Albarasi , Libya 's energy minister, said the North African nation is considering inviting Turkish investors to invest in its electricity sector.

He said, however, that for now, there are no dispositions to allow public- private investment in
Libya 's power sector.
