ANTALYA, Turkey -- Officials from Turkmenistan and Turkey signed two preliminary agreements on Friday for the Central Asian country to supply gas to Turkey and onward to Europe, deals that would aid Ankara's bid to become a regional energy hub.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met with Kurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, the powerful chairman of Turkmenistan's People's Council, on the sidelines of the international Antalya Diplomacy Forum, where officials from the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding and a letter of intent on natural gas cooperation.
