Business | June 23, 2003, Monday // 00:00

Turkey's Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul expressed the hope that the energy export problem between Bulgarian and Turkey will be solved within three months, Turksih TV channel CNN-Turk reported.

Abdullah Gul has held talks with Bulgaria's Prime Minister Simeon Saxe-Coburg in the framework of the World Economic Forum in Amman.

Turkey unilaterally cut power supplies from Bulgaria on April 21, claiming that Sofia had defaulted on the commitment to award infrastructure projects to Turkish companies.

During the Ankara talks it emerged that Turkey seeks to reduce the quantity and price of the electricity exports as agreed in the 1998 accord.

Back then Bulgaria and Turkey resumed talks over the 1998 intergovernmental agreement power-for-infrastructure and were to come to an agreement on the volume and price of exported supplies in ten days.
