Turkmenistan's president has vowed to increase natural gas exports to Russia, state media reported Saturday.
Gurbanguli Berdymukhamedov also said his country would develop a United States backed undersea Caspian pipeline along with a gas pipeline that runs along the seashore favored by Moscow.
Turkmenistan currently sells 50 billion cubic meters (1.7 trillion cubic feet) of gas to Russia per year.
