MESOP QUOTATION III : TURKEY – Genel energy head: And what is that reading currently?

Oil will find its way. Even if we separate Kurdistan and do not include disputed territories like Kirkuk, the oil and gas potential here will put it in the top 10 in the world. When the world is so energy hungry and when the prices of energy resources are so high, it is impossible for the oil not to be unearthed for political reasons. It’s only a matter of time. You have to be patient enough and have enough money. The world does not have the luxury of leaving oil and gas underground. So you claim the contention between Baghdad and Arbil will not prevent Kurdish oil and gas from reaching markets?

With potentials so high, economics will outweigh politics. http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/investor-sees-kurdish-oil-as-turkeys-chance-since-ottomans.aspx?pageID=238&nID=36469&NewsCatID=348
