The Turkish Ambassador to Moscow, Umit Yardym, said that the launch of the gas pipeline Turkish Stream is likely to be expected after 2017.
He stressed that Turkey and Russia "have not yet reached the first stage of the project." "Maybe today it would be improper to state the dates for building the pipeline, whether in 2016 or 2017,’’ Interfax quotes Yardim as saying.
"In my opinion, if we are able to realize this project, it will be a great victory for both Turkey and Russia. Contacts between the two countries on this issue are continuing," the ambassador said.
