Syria has stopped purchasing electricity from neighbouring Turkey, Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yıldız told reporters on Thursday.
 
"Syria halted their power purchases from Turkey one week ago," Yıldız said, adding however that Turkey was ready to resume supplies if a request was received. Turkey was providing 20 percent of Syria's power supply.
