Guler said they discussed renewable energy projects, new pipelines, as well as nuclear energy issues. "We consider to carry out very comprehensive joint energy projects with Switzerland. We think of signing a memorandum of understanding with Switzerland soon," Guler added.
Briefing reporters about TAP project, Guler said it is an additional project to Turkey-Greece-Italy pipeline and Nabucco Pipeline. "This pipeline will carry Iranian natural gas to Thessaloniki (via Turkey) and then to Albania, and it will pass over Adriatic Sea to Italy," he said.
