PM: Energy to top Turkey's G20 presidency agenda

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Saturday energy related issues would top Turkey's agenda during its G20 presidency term, Anadolu Agency reported.

Davutoglu made the remarks in a speech at the closing session of the sixth Atlantic Council Energy and Economic Summit in Istanbul.

Turkey is set to take over the 2015 term-presidency of the G20 group in December.

"When we start our G20 presidency, we plan to take steps in energy security, which is indeed a guarantee for stability. We want to be a bridge of peace... Energy should not be seen as a weapon for conflicts, it should be seen as a facilitator to further improve the well-being of people," he said.

He added that energy was essential for all countries.
