Belarus Discusses Iranian Crude Imports

摘要

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Friday that his country was conducting talks with Iran on crude oil supplies, suggesting Iran could unload cargoes in the Ukrainian port of Odessa and pipe them to Belarus' Mozyr refinery. Speaking to the nation's lawmakers, Lukashenko said that Iran was scrambling to find new markets for its oil and that Belarus was even ready to work on a tolling basis, which would allow the Iranians to refine crude in Belarus and sell products in Eastern Europe.
