Damascus: Syria and Russia have signed a $71 million gas deal to transport natural gas from Syria’s northern city of Aleppo to the Turkish border.
The agreement between Syrian Gas Company and Russia’s StroyTrans Gaz provides construction of a 62-kilometre pipeline from Aleppo to the border, Sana news agency reported on Tuesday.
Construction of the pipeline is expected to take 18 months.
Syria's oil production has declined in recent years and the country is trying to compensate by relying more heavily on natural gas.
