Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said yesterday that Russia is not withdrawing from the sale of the Turkish Stream project and hopes to sign all the necessary documents after a new government is formed in Turkey.
"This is definitely an alternative to the South Stream, and we are optimistic about this project. Some of the documents are signed, but an intergovernmental agreement has not yet been signed. The reason is primarily that there is no government there. Our partners, our counterparts in Turkey, are due to form this government. It's not that simple, as experience sometimes shows," PRIME news agency cited him as saying.
"We are holding negotiations with them. I hope that after all the political problems are resolved there and the political process is completed, we will be able to reach a final agreement on all issues," Dmitry Medvedev concluded.
