ANKARA, Oct 15 (NNN-ANADOLU) – Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said yesterday that, he would announce the size of new gas reserves, off the Black Sea, this week, while visiting the Turkish drilling ship “Fatih.”
“I will visit our drilling ship Fatih on Saturday, to witness the work in person, and announce the size of the new reserves,” Erdogan said.
