Erozan expects that the gas pipeline, which is to run from the
Dardanelles to Komatin and further to Greece would be completed by
2004.
After the completion of the pipeline, it will take a year or two to
extend it to other Balkan countries, the Turkish diplomat said.
The project is also expected to include Albania, Macedonia and
Yugoslavia.
The construction of the gas pipeline was discussed by Bosnian and
Turkish officials in Sarajevo last week.
Erozan said that apart from its importance for economy, the project
would be of great political significance as it would stimulate
multilateral cooperation in the Balkans.
