Turkiye has postponed a due to be held on February 14-15 until March 22, an energy official said on Friday, after a major earthquake hit its southeastern region, APA reports citing Reuters.
Setting up a gas hub in Turkiye was first proposed by Russia's President Vladimir Putin after explosions damaged Russia's Nord Stream gas pipelines under the Baltic Sea.
