Gazprom Chairman Alexei Miller and Turkey's Minister of Energy and Natural resources Taner Yildiz discussed the route of a new pipeline from Russia to Turkey to be built under the Black Sea, during a working meeting in Ankara on Tuesday, Gazprom said in a statement, MTI news agency reported yesterday.
The construction of pipeline will consist of four phases, to be completed at a capacity of 63 billion cubic meters per year. It will pass 660 km through the old South Stream corridor and 250 km through a new corridor towards the European part of Turkey, the statement said.
