Турция переходит к увеличению импорта газа из Азербайджана и Катара

Турция внесла важные изменения со странами, из которых она импортировала газ в первой половине 2020 года. Сейчас страна импортирует гораздо больше газа из Азербайджана и Катара, чем из России и Ирана.

Согласно информации, собранной турецким официальным агентством Anadolu на основе данных Регулятора энергетического рынка, импорт природного газа Турцией из Ирана и России снизился на 44,8 процента и 41,5 процента, соответственно, в первой половине этого года по сравнению с тем же периодом 2019 года.

Импорт природного газа Турцией в период с января по июнь этого года упал на 3,5 процента до 22,5 миллиарда кубометров (млрд кубометров). Из этой суммы Турция импортировала 12,1 млрд куб. метров по трубопроводам и 10,3 млрд куб. метров в виде сжиженного природного газа (СПГ).

Импорт трубопроводного газа Турцией упал на 22,8 процента, тогда как импорт СПГ вырос за этот период на 44,8 процента.

В первом полугодии этого года страна импортировала из Азербайджана наибольший объем газа - 5,44 млрд куб. метров, что на 23,4 процента больше, чем за тот же период 2019 года. Транспортировка газа по Трансанатолийскому газопроводу стала фактором роста импорта.

В первой половине этого года Турция импортировала из Ирана газа на 46 процентов меньше, снижение с 3,75 млрд кубометров до 2,02 млрд кубометров, при этом импорт газа не производился с апреля по июнь этого года.

Аналогичным образом, импорт из России значительно упал на 41 процент в период с января по июнь этого года до 4,7 млрд кубометров по сравнению с тем же периодом прошлого года.

Турция в соответствии с долгосрочным контрактом на СПГ с Алжиром импортировала наибольший объем СПГ - 2,99 млрд куб. метров за этот период.

Однако наибольший объем спотового СПГ был импортирован из Катара - 2,85 млрд куб. м, что на 124% больше по сравнению с первой половиной 2019 года.

Спотовый импорт СПГ из США в Турцию также вырос на 144% и за тот же период составил 2,16 млрд куб. метров.

В первой половине 2020 года Турция получила СПГ из новых стран-источников с импортом 633 миллионов кубических метров спотового СПГ из Тринидада и Тобаго, за которым следуют Экваториальная Гвинея, Камерун, Египет, Норвегия и Испания.

За этот период Турция также экспортировала в Грецию 203 млн кубометров газа.

В период с января по июнь этого года Турция потребила на 3,8 процента меньше природного газа, снижение до 24,3 млрд кубометров по сравнению с тем же периодом прошлого года.

На прошлой неделе Турция объявила о значительных находках газа в Черном море.

Энергетическая независимость считается критически важной для Турции не только с экономической, но и с геостратегической точки зрения. Турецкая англоязычная ежедневная газета Hurriyet Daily News цитирует председателя Партии националистического движения (ПНД) Девлета Бахчели, заявившего, что обнаружение Турцией запасов природного газа в Черном море в размере 320 миллиардов кубометров повысит ее стратегическую мощь при одновременном снижении ее зависимости от иностранных источников.

"Тот факт, что мы на 72 процента зависим от иностранных источников энергии, ослабляет наши руки, отрицательно влияя на наш бюджетный баланс и платежный баланс. Таким образом, открытие запасов природного газа в Черном море повысит как нашу экономическую безопасность, так и стратегическую мощь," - Бахчели сказал в письменном заявлении в понедельник (24 августа).

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).

NATO Chief says war is on Europe's doorstep, and warns against complacency

NATO Chief says war is on Europe's doorstep, and warns against complacency

Russia could attack a NATO country within the next five years, the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, said in a stark new warning. "NATO's own defences can hold for now," Rutte warned in Berlin, but conflict was "next door" to Europe, and he feared "too many are quietly complacent, and too many don't feel the urgency, too many believe that time is on our side. "Russia is already escalating its covert campaign against our societies," Rutte said in a speech in Germany. "We must be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents or great-grandparents endured." Earlier this month, Russia's President Vladimir Putin said his country was not planning to go to war with Europe, but it was ready "right now" if Europe wanted to - or started a war. But similar reassurances were given by Moscow in 2022, just before 200,000 Russian troops crossed the border and invaded Ukraine. Putin has accused European countries of hindering US efforts to bring peace in Ukraine - a reference to the role Ukraine's European allies have recently played in trying to change a US peace plan to end the war, whose initial draft was seen as favouring Russia. But Putin was not sincere, Nato's secretary-general said in the German capital, Berlin. Supporting Ukraine, he added, was a guarantee for European security. "Just imagine if Putin got his way; Ukraine under the boot of Russian occupation, his forces pressing against a longer border with Nato, and the significantly increased risk of an armed attack against us." Russia's economy has been on a war footing for more than three years now - its factories churn out ever more supplies of drones, missiles and artillery shells. According to a recent report by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, Russia has been producing each month around 150 tanks, 550 infantry fighting vehicles, 120 Lancet drones and more than 50 artillery pieces. The UK, and most of its Western allies, are simply not anywhere near this point. Analysts say it would take years for Western Europe's factories to come close to matching Russia's mass-production of weapons. "Allied defence spending and production must rise rapidly, our armed forces must have what they need to keep us safe," the Nato chief said.
