    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Talks between Turkey and Azerbaijan over securing gas
    for Europe have temporarily halted due to disagreements over Turkey's
    attempts to normalize relations with Armenia, Turkey said on Tuesday.

    The talks over gas supplies from Azerbaijan's Shakh Deniz II gas
    project are crucial to help filling the European Union-backed
    Nabucco pipeline project, which aims to reduce Europe's dependence
    on Russian gas.

    "We have not talked with the Azeris for between a month and a month
    and a half, the fundamental issue here is politics," said Energy
    Minister Taner Yildiz, speaking at a news conference.

    Yildiz said it was unclear whether a previous offer to transit the
    Azeri gas to Europe at less than markets prices had been accepted,
    Reuters reported.
