BTC flow to resume in days.

The flow of oil through the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline will resume in a matter of days, the Turkish energy minister said.

A fire on a portion of the pipeline in eastern Turkey temporarily halted activity Aug. 6. A military conflict between Russian and Georgian forces over the breakaway republic of South Ossetia erupted in the following days.

Turkish Energy Minister Hilmi Guler said oil transport through the BTC pipeline would resume within the next few days, the Trend Capital News Agency reported. The statement comes as Russian military forces began pulling out of Georgia.

Guler noted the fire on the Turkish portion of the 1,100-mile pipeline was an act of terrorism. The separatist Kurdistan Workers' Party claimed responsibility for the event.
