Ankara has requested Gazprom to boost gas supplies from Russia due to suspension of deliveries from Iran, the company said in a press release on Friday.
"The request for October 28 has been raised by 9.3% to 82.1 million cubic meters per day. Similar to previous cases Gazprom will fulfill the request and supply additional volumes of gas to Turkey," TASS cited the report as saying.
An explosion hit the gas pipeline in eastern Turkey today, halting supplies.
