“I mean not only supplies for consumers in Turkey, but I want to reiterate, also for consumers in Europe.

So I think European partners should be grateful to Turkey for ensuring the uninterrupted transit of our gas to the European market,” Putin said at a meeting with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, which is taking place in Sochi.

Earlier, Putin called the Turkish Stream one of the most important sources of supplying Europe with Russian gas.

According to him, the gas pipeline works properly and without failures.

The head of the analytical department of AMarkets, Artyom Deev, predicted the situation with gas supplies to Europe in a conversation with FAN.
