ALGIERS: Turkey will hold talks with Qatar about building a third liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal with a capacity of 5-6 billion cubic metres in Turkey's Gulf of Saros, Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said on Saturday.

"We think it would be appropriate to build an LNG terminal on the Gulf of Saros to meet the needs of Turkey and the region. Qatar would carry out the feasibility work and evaluate the project," Yildiz told reporters during a trip to Algiers.
