“Since Algeria, Qatar, and Azerbaijan are currently supplying to Europe in the southern direction, in principle, we are talking about creating a kind of hub in which not only Russian suppliers, but also other exporters would participate,” TASS quotes him.
According to Novak, specific decisions will be made during 2023.
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry expressed hope for the implementation of the idea of creating a gas hub in Turkey.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced Ankara's readiness to cooperate with Baku and Ashgabat on gas supplies to the West.
