Russia to Cut Gas Price as Blue Stream Pipeline Extends to Israel

ANKARA: A new pipeline project with Russia is on the agenda following the debates over natural gas cuts.

The project of extending the Blue Stream Natural Gas Pipeline through Israel will be implemented.

The Turkish Energy Ministry made another offer to Russia breaking the Turkish resistance on the issue with the promise “reduction in natural gas price”.

The words of Russian Gazprom Chief Alexey Miller, “Turkish part delivered us interesting data,” reportedly referred to the offer to extend the oil pipeline to be built between Samsun and Ceyhan through Israel in line with the Blue Stream.

Gazprom officials during the meeting defended they did not announce the natural gas prices, “It is not right to compare the natural gas prices implemented in several countries even if the prices are known because the shipping and transit costs vary.”
