“We proceed from the fact that the implementation of Vladimir Putin’s initiative to create a gas distribution center in Turkey will not only ensure the interests of suppliers and consumers, but will also have a stabilizing effect on international energy markets,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
Earlier, Turkish Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Fatih Donmez said that a meeting of gas consumer and supplier countries within the framework of the Turkish gas hub would be held in Istanbul on February 14-15.
At the end of December, the head of Gazprom, Alexei Miller, said that Russia and Turkey had already begun to work on the implementation of the project to create a gas hub.
