The terms of the launch of the first line of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline have been postponed due to the political crisis in Turkey, the deputy chairman of Gazprom Alexander Medvedev said today.
The absence of effective government in Turkey, which can take such a decision, postpones the signing of an intergovernmental agreement, so the launch of the first line is likely to be rescheduled for a later date than December 2016, Tass cites Alexander Medvedev.
