Turkiye seeks to extend Iran gas deal, minister says Turkey wants to extend a natural gas supply contract with Iran that is due to expire in the coming months, but talks have not yet begun because of the war, Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said. Speaking on the sidelines of the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, he said Ankara remains interested in securing Iranian gas to ensure supply continuity. “There’s no negotiation right now, but we might sit and discuss a potential extension,” Bayraktar said.
