The Energy News Terminal is prepared in collaboration with distinguished staff, educated by the Anadolu Agency in the field on energy correspondency and personnel at international offices. The terminal is qualified in supporting Turkey, who has been in a strategic position in terms of international energy in the recent period, and its regional position as an active participant in the energy sector.
The Energy News Terminal with the support of AA's 94 year experience, is presented in English after a year's preparation. The terminal is a first for Turkey.

Anadolu Agency Energy News Terminal will closely follow national and international markets to provide readers with instant data that have been enriched by specialist comments from experts.
The terminal with its wide web in Turkey and the world, provides users with special analysis reports obtained from important names in the energy sector from Turkey as well as US, Europe, Middle East and Asia. Apart from energy news, readers can also enjoy political and foreign affairs news stories.
The Energy News Terminal is a leading example in being able to reach both international investors interested in Turkey and local investors or businessmen looking to learn about the global energy sector because of its ideal speed, content and quality of news stories and analysis reports published in English.
Another first by the Energy News Terminal is the "Energy Desk." Just like the "Finance Desk," the energy desk is planned to begin shortly and will hold periodical meetings where important guests, sector professionals, influencal names and people from the business world within the energy sector will attend. The meetings will be held live and will be provided to sector professionals instantly by AA Energy Terminal.
"AA, with its true, trustworthy and reference news, will be at an important point in energy sector"
Anadolu Agency Director General Kemal Ozturk spoke about the start of the Energy News Terminal and drew attention to the importance of true and trusthworthy news in the energy sector.
"Our energy correspondents will work at the production level of the English Energy News Terminal. Our goal is the global market. We will lament to ourselves if we do not impact the energy news sector. I am serious when I say that I am talking about an active crew, institution and bulletin to be established within three years."
There is an incresingly hardening atmosphere in the energy sector, according to Ozturk. "From Iraq to Palestine, energy is the main cause for war in the region we are in. This whole region has energy roads, corridors and reserves. All these lead humanity into a brutal war."
"Energy sector is a strategic field, directly affecting not only countries' internal politics but also relations of countries with each other. Anadolu Agency will be at a significant point with its true, trustworthy and reference news in English in energy sector," said Ozturk.
Expert journalist staff
AA has the vision of being the largest staffed news agency to be in the energy sector. The staff for the terminal have been hand-picked from AA's News Academy where attendees spent three months learning the craft of writing English energy news and gaining journalistic abilities.
The attendees, chosen among 300 applicants, were educated by specialists in the field of energy from national companies, think tanks and academics from universities.
