Russian and Turkish governments have a principal agreement on construction of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline, said Russian Premier Dmitrii Medvedev.
It has not been reported if the Turkish side has given permission to construction of the pipeline, but Gasprom already said that it is going to start pipe laying in June 2015.
The Turkish Stream is a big project. We are certainly interested to build a serious legal basis for the project. All the documents are ready and everything went fine. All the principal agreements have been reached with the Turkish government to this effect,” Medvedev assured.
