April 2006 - Development Minister Dimitris Sioufas on
Monday inaugurated construction work on a new natural gas pipeline connecting
the northeastern Thrace region cities of Alexandroupoli and Komotini, an
extension of a pipeline expected to transport natural gas from neighboring
Turkey.
The natural gas pipeline project connecting the Turkish and Greek
grids was inaugurated last July during a high-profile ceremony attended by the
two countries prime ministers.
Sioufas, speaking during a brief
ceremony at the Komotini industrial district, said that the ongoing project, in
tandem with a natural gas pipeline connecting Greece and Italy, will link the
Caspian Sea fields with western and central Europe.
