Energy resources to maintain peace in Eastern Mediterranean: Turkish president
11 May 2013

The newly discovered energy resources in the Eastern Mediterranean could contribute a great deal on the road to resolving the political problems in the region, Turkish President Abdullah Gül said May 10 at a conference in Istanbul.
