Türkiye has taken “vital steps” within the power subject regardless of the continuing disaster, the nation’s Communications Director Fahrettin Altun mentioned.
“The 1970s were periods of severe energy and oil crises in the world, and Türkiye was also heavily affected by those crises. It may be necessary to make a comparison with reference to today.
“There is a critical power disaster on the planet in the present day.
But in the present day’s Türkiye is managing this power disaster and even taking important steps to rework Türkiye into an power centre like by no means earlier than in its historical past,” Altun said at an exhibition on Turkish history in the capital Ankara on Tuesday.
He said that in the 1970s, there was a “weak” Türkiye, which was polarised in the course of the Cold War period and caught in world politics.

“Today, Türkiye is the guarantor of our region and global peace. While there was a closed, unfortunately, unstable Türkiye before, today there is an island of stability despite the crises in the world and in our region.
“Türkiye in the present day is a stabilising energy serving regional and world peace,” Altun stressed.
Altun’s remarks came a day after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced the discovery of an additional 58 billion cubic meters of natural gas in the Black Sea, bringing the total volume of natural gas in the Black Sea to 710 billion cubic metres.
“Our drill ship Fatih has explored 58 billion cubic meters of pure gasoline reserves, 3,023 meters beneath the ocean, on the Caycuma 1 block,” said President Erdogan following a Cabinet meeting at the Presidential Complex in Ankara.
“Our new exploration will pave the best way for comparable explorations in different geological fields adjoining to the area. We will launch new drilling as quickly as potential,” Erdogan added.
