Iranian shipments of natural gas to Turkey have been resumed after being
cut by an explosion targeting a pipeline in eastern Turkey, Turkey's Energy
Minister Taner Yildiz said Tuesday.
Natural gas flow to
Turkey
resumed after maintenance on the damaged pipeline, Yildiz told
Anatolia
news
agency.
The blast occurred last week in an area between villages of Hidirli and Kalender
in the eastern
province
of
Agri.
The gas shipments were halted after the blast on the pipeline, which carries 27
million cubic meters of gas a day to
Turkey
.
Officials did not identify any perpetrators but Kurdish rebels fighting for a
homeland were widely seen as the main suspects.
The outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party, referred to as PKK, is regarded as a
terrorist organization by
Turkey
, the
European Union and the
U.S.
