“The way the Turkish Stream was brilliantly opened yesterday suggests that Russia is a reliable partner and will be guaranteed to supply gas to Europe. Nord Stream 2 is an equally ambitious and important project. Despite all the problems that artificially create for us, it will be completed, ”said Dzhabarov.

According to the senator, the completion of the Russian project guarantees "Europeans a gas supply for decades to come."

Earlier, as the newspaper Izvestia wrote, experts said that Nord Stream 2 will be commissioned in 2020, regardless of whether the Swiss pipe-laying company Allseas returns to the project or not.
