Today Turkey does not plan to reduce imports of natural gas from Iran, Anadolu agency quotes Turkish Energy and Natural Resources Minister Taner Yildiz as saying on Friday.
"Turkey does not plan to reduce gas supplies from Iran, as the EU sanctions against Iran will not cover existing contracts," Yildiz said.
In mid-October the EU countries'governments imposed sanctions against major Iranian state companies in the oil and gas industry, and strengthened restrictions on the Central Bank, cranking up financial pressure over Tehran's nuclear program.
