Damascus seeks gas from autonomous administration

Syria's energy crisis, worsened by war and Western sanctions since 2011, has led Damascus to seek gas from the Autonomous Administration in northeastern Syria, which controls most of the country’s oil reserves.

Axar.az, citing Asharq-Al-Awsat, reports that Ahmad Al-Suleiman, spokesperson for the Ministry of Oil, confirmed an agreement to source around 500,000 cubic meters of gas per day from the region. While the deal is framed as an economic necessity, it has sparked debate over potential political implications, as the Autonomous Administration has yet to recognize Damascus' authority fully.

Al-Suleiman emphasized that the agreement serves the Syrian people's interests and is part of broader efforts to stabilize energy supplies. However, Syria’s attempts to import crude oil remain hindered by Western sanctions.
