Turkey Seeks Israeli Deals
(Natural Gas Europe) Ya'acov Zalel - A delegation of Turkish businessmen headed by Ahmet Zorlu, a billionaire with interests in the energy sector, visited Israel last week in the wake of the two countries' reconciliation agreement. Zorlu Group is already involved in the Israeli energy market through a 25% holding in Dorad, a new gas-fired generation plant, in partnership with Israeli Edeltech. Zorlu, regarded as an ally of Turkey's president Erdogan, said that Turkey was waiting for Israeli natural gas, according to Yediot Ahronot. According to another report, a Turkish consortium has offered $2.5 billion to finance a 500-km. sub-sea gas pipeline from Israel's Leviathan field to Turkey.
