ANKARA. December 24. KAZINFORM /Kanat Kulshmanov/ Potential trade turnover between Kazakhstan and Turkey exeeds USD 10 bln. Deputy Foreign Minister of Kazakhstan Kairat Sarybai said it in the interview with journalists in Ankara.
"USD 10 bln is a short-term task. The circumstances have intervened, in particular, the global financial crisis", K.Sarybai said.
He also added that larger volumes of oil would be supplied to Turkey through existing Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline and planned Samsun-Ceyhan pipeline.
