Turkey approves South Stream construction

Turkey approves South Stream construction
# 28 December 2011 12:46 (UTC +04:00)
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Wednesday received the written permission for South Stream from visiting Turkish energy minister Taner Yildiz

The South Stream project is meant to transport Russian natural gas to Europe under the Black Sea. The pipeline, which is expected to start in 2015, would ship up to 63 billion cubic meters (2 trillion cubic feet) of gas annually to southern and eastern Europe.

The permission was the final hurdle to the pipeline’s construction, and Gazprom’s chief executive Alexei Miller described it as "the most serious proof" that the project will be completed by 2015.

South Stream is rivaling a EU-backed Nabucco pipeline that’s slated to ship gas from the Caspian region to Austria.
