“Turkey is a participant of TANAP. EU a few times expressed its dissatisfaction that construction of new pipeline designed for transportation of Russian gas to Turkey may have impact on realization of TANAP. However, it’s not so”, the minister said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on December 1 that the South Stream project is closed. On the same day, Russian Gazprom and Turkish BOTAS companies signed an agreement on construction of a pipeline for transportation of Russian gas to Turkey. Transportation capacity of the pipeline will make 63 mln cm.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan noted that V. Putin offered to call that pipeline “Turkish Stream”.
