On last Thursday, Turkish Energy Minister, Taner Yildiz, said, "The pumping of crude oil from the Kurdistan region to the port of Ceyhan stopped because of its full reservoirs." He also added that pumping would restart in a matter of few days.
In a press meeting, Yildiz said that "because of the full tanks of port Ceyhan, Kurdistan stopped pumping oil." He also pointed out that it would take 2 to 3 days at least to resume normal production.
On next Saturday, Turkish minister will also pay a visit to the Turkish port. On the matter of petrol crisis in the Kurdistan region, Turkish energy minister said that the narrow border gate is the only obstacle that is restricting from supplying the region.
