Already supplying several key pipelines for the EU, Türkiye's potential to become a major natural gas supply hub for Europe is discussed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, following the recent damage on the Nordstream pipelines. Putin's offer involves building additional links to the TurkStream pipeline that travels under the Black Sea. President Erdogan, who met the Russian leader in Astana last week approved the proposal. Türkiye's Thrace region bordering Bulgaria to the north and Greece to the west is considered for distribution. As much as Türkiye is available for such a hefty task that would undoubtedly relieve Europe's energy crisis, the issue, however, is incumbent upon the European countries' willingness to accept such delivery at a time when they are keen on ending services that support Russian gains.
