中国石化新闻网讯 据《中东北非财经新闻》2月24日阿什哈巴德报道，乌克兰日前与土库曼斯坦达成了一项旨在恢复从这个中亚国家进口天然气的临时协议。
乌克兰能源部长爱德华·斯塔维特斯基22日在阿什哈巴德对媒体记者说，这项协议是在乌克兰总统维克托·亚努科维奇与土库曼斯坦总统库尔班古力·别尔德穆哈梅多夫举行会谈以后签署的。
斯塔维特斯基补充说，在这项协议能够最后确定前，与其他各方的谈判将继续。这项协议的完成将要求得到过境国哈萨克斯坦和俄罗斯的同意。
为了满足国内的需求，乌克兰一直在寻找能够替代俄罗斯天然气进口的天然气。在2006年前，土库曼斯坦每年向乌克兰供应360亿立方米天然气。

Ukraine Signs Tentative Natural-Gas Deal With Turkmenistan
MENAFN - Qatar News Agency - 24/02/2013 Ukraine has reached a tentative agreement with Turkmenistan to resume imports of natural gas from the Central Asian country.
Ukrainian Energy Minister Eduard Stavytskyy told journalists in Ashgabat on February 13 that the agreement was signed after talks between visiting Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and his Turkmen counterpart, Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov.
Stavytskyy added that talks with other parties will follow before the deal can be finalized. The deal's completion would require the consent of Kazakhstan and Russia as transit states. Ukraine has been seeking alternatives to Russian gas imports to meet its energy needs. Until 2006, Turkmenistan supplied Ukraine with 36 billion cubic meters of gas annually.
