Nabucco Gas Pipeline International GmbH plans to supply the natural-gas transmission route to Europe with links to Turkey’s borders with Georgia and Iraq and has decided against a link to the country’s border with Iran.

The company’s shareholders decided at a meeting in Ankara to confirm and order engineering works for two of the feeder pipelines and to not plan a third one to the border with Iran “due to the current political situation,” Nabucco said today in an e-mailed statement.
