As Trend informs, the oil has reached the second pump station in Turkey. "Now the testing of devices is underway. Simultaneously, the work at the third pump station also continues. Testing and acceptance of pump stations are carried out not only by the Turkish company Botas, also a German company attracted for the implementation of the process," the Minister said.
