Harsh winter ahead of Europe

ANKARA – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned that European countries will face major difficulties this winter due to limited shipments of Russian natural gas.

Speaking at the TUGVA youth forum, the Turkish leader noted: “The whole continent is on fire right now. The whole of Europe is asking: ‘How will this winter go?’ “

According to Erdogan, his country will have no problems with energy resources in the coming months.

“Alhamdulillah, we have made all the preparations … we have prepared everything for our nation, both natural gas and coal,” he said.
