“Two strings of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline have been put into operation.
One goes only to us, the other to Bulgaria.
Azerbaijan, Russia, Iran can become players here,” TASS quoted him as saying.
Dönmez noted that Turkey will also "become a player in this market" because it is located "close to gas sources."
Earlier, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told Russian leader Vladimir Putin that the Turkish side hoped to complete the gas hub roadmap as soon as possible.
