"The Turkish side showed, of course, very great interest. We agreed with our colleagues, in particular, at the corporate level and with the Turkish Minister of Energy that we would start the dialogue very, very quickly, literally from the beginning of next week. And we will proceed to absolutely competitive discussion of the scope and timing of the project", the head of Gazprom said.
