Towards a new increase in the price of the LPG cylinder, they are heading to the occupied areas, with the electronic media writing that the new price can reach 180 TL per cylinder (approximately 12 euros) from the current 140 TL.
Today the exchange rate was over 13 TL per dollar, over 15 for the euro and 18,3 for the pound.
Meanwhile, after reports that unleaded petrol was running out, "Energy and Economy Minister" Sunat Atoun said there should be no concern and that the difficulty in supplying fuel would soon be overcome.
At the same time, "Prime Minister" Faiz Sujiuoglu called on people who have information or believe that there are gas stations who store fuel to report it to the "citizen" line in 171. They will be fined if this is found, he added.
The company CRET, one of the largest in the supply and disposal of fuel, announced today that there is no problem and that it has ordered 7 tankers with fuel and 2 with LPG.
And the general manager of ALPET stated that there will be no new fuel crisis, but he considers the increase in their price again out of the blue. He noted that the demand in the occupied areas is 1k liters per day, 30 million liters per month. And his own company, he added, in addition to the 3 tankers each month, ordered two more with fuel for the current month.
The "energy minister" had a meeting today with these two big fuel companies in the occupied territories to discuss the issue of supply, security and pricing.
