Russian minister: Turkish Stream is suspended
"As far as the Turkish Stream is concerned Turkey should first of all turn to Russia if it’s interested in the project. As of now Turkey has not turned to us with this proposal."According to the agency, Miller added that "in case such an offer follows it will be considered."
Russian government suspend operations of the mixed intergovernmental Russian-Turkish commission on trade and economic cooperation on December 1, TASS reported, noting that the agreement to construct the pipeline was reached in December 2014.
The initial planned annual capacity of the pipeline's four lines was 63 billion cubic meters - 16 billion for Turkey and 47 billion for a gas hub on the Turkish-Greek border.
The Gazprom CEO, however, said in October only two lines would be built "as the Nord Stream 2 pipeline can cover Europe’s growing demand for gas."
