PM Erdogan: "Oil supply problems with the Samsun-Ceyhan pipeline have been resolved"

Transit fees on the Samsun-Ceyhan pipeline are not an issue between Ankara and Moscow, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan told reporters yesterday after returning from a trip to the Russian Federation. Erdogan said investments on the Samsun-Ceyhan route were first started by Italian company ENI and Turkey's Calik with an intergovernmental agreement and that later Russia got involved in the project. Erdogan said there had been problems, especially on the oil supply, but with Russia's involvement these were resolved.
