ANKARA, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Turkey will start supplying
Moldova with 2 million cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas per day
from October, state-owned Anadolu news agency said on Thursday,
in the second such agreement announced by Ankara in as many
days.
    Turkey, which has meagre gas sources of its own but hosts an
extensive liquefied gas import infrastructure, aims to be an
alternate supplier to smaller gas markets in southeastern
Europe.
    On Wednesday, Turkey's state gas grid operator BOTAS signed
a deal to supply up to 1.5 bcm of gas to Romania's OMW Petrom
 ROSNP.BX  in a deal that runs until the first quarter of 2025.
    Turkey also signed supply deals with Bulgaria and Hungary
this year.
