ISTANBUL Oil shipments through the Iraq-Türkiye pipeline resumed on Saturday after two-and-a-half years, in a move expected to strengthen Türkiye’s energy supply and add diversity to global markets. Turkish Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said on Saturday that flows resumed at 7.07 am local time (0407GMT) through the pipeline, which had been shut since the Feb. 6, 2023 earthquakes but was declared operational by the Turkish energy company BOTAS in October of that year.
