Turkish energy minister has said that natural gas flow from Azerbaijan to Turkey resumed.
A statement by Energy and Natural Resources Minister Taner Yildiz said on Wednesday that according to industrial production index figures, energy sector index rose by 4.5 percent in August. "Energy sector has to grow more than the country's growth rate. The figures by the Turkish statistics authority showed that energy sector continues to grow," he said.
