Turkey has asked for additional natural gas supplies from Russia from 2015, Russian news agency RIA Novosti reports, citing comments made Friday by Alexei Miller, Chief Executive of OAO Gazprom (GAZP.RS).
"From 2015, Turkey wants to receive additional volumes of Russian gas, including via the Blue Stream-2 pipeline" for its domestic market, said Miller.
The planned Blue Stream-2 pipeline, part of the existing Blue Stream system linking Russia to Turkey, would extend the system to Israel, with capacity planned at 8 billion cubic meters.
