Turkey Punishes France for Recognizing Armenian Massacre
Turkey, reacting to a French bill on the World War I massacre of Armenians, has suspended talks with Gaz de France (GDF) on the French firm's possible participation in a major pipeline project, the Anatolia news agency reported Thursday. Turkey's energy ministry and the state-owned oil and gas company BOTAS, which is part of the Nabucco consortium building the pipeline, refused to comment on the report.
The five-company consortium plans to build a 3,300-kilometre (2,000-mile) pipeline that will carry natural gas from the Middle East and Central Asia to the European Union via Turkey and the Balkans, bypassing Russia. The other partners in the venture are Austria's oil and gas group OMV, Hungary's MOL, Bulgaria's Bulgargaz and Romania's Transgaz.
