Novak: documents on Turkish Stream to be ready by July

Russia and Turkey have agreed to prepare legally binding documents on the construction of the Turkish Stream pipeline by the end of June, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said.

"I cannot tell you the exact date when it will be signed, it will depend on internal procedures, its passage, ratification, and so on. By the end of June at least a draft of the document will be prepared. Of course, we believe that it should be signed before the start of the construction," RIA Novosti cited Novak as saying.
