Predpravleniya « » Alexei Miller and Energy Minister Taner Yildiz agreed on the route and timing pipeline construction « Turkish Stream”, said « Gazprom “. The starting point of the tube compressor station will be « Russian” in Anapa, where should start « South Stream”. The first 660 kilometers of the pipeline route will pass the old « South Stream ‘across the Black Sea to Bulgaria, and then turn the tube in the direction of European Turkey ( to the west of the Bosporus). The total length of the offshore section o f « Turkish flow”, as « South” to Bulgaria, will be 910 km.

Land route calculated within one to two weeks, said a source close to the « Gazprom”. The length of the Bosphorus in Turkey to Greece is 200-250 km. The representative of the Ministry of Energy of Turkey did not respond to the request.

In laying the submerged section of the pipe will made for « Southern flow. ” They were shipped at the end of 2014. This will speed up the construction site, said the source in the « Gazprom”.

The company announced that instead build Pipeline design capacity of 63 billion cubic meters. m through Turkey to the border with Greece, which will create a gas hub. Two weeks ago, Miller said that with « Turkish stream» « Gazprom” since 2019 refuses to gas transit through Ukraine. He also warned that if Europe wants to get gas, which now goes through Ukraine, after 2019, it is necessary to build their own pipes to the borders of Turkey. The European Commission will analyze the plan « Gazprom”, as his economic component, as well as its compliance with the laws of the European Union, then the final decision , says the commission. The issue will be discussed at the meeting of the working group on February 9 in Sofia. To address transboundary issues working group may invite representatives of other countries, such as Russia or Turkey, but at the meeting on February 9, they are not invited, the spokesman added.

Having chosen for « Turkish Stream” route alignment « South», « Gazprom” probably wants to keep the option to return to the implementation of the latter, an analyst at « » Valery Nesterov. After a year or two the situation may change, and then the new gas pipeline will go to Bulgaria and Turkey will get another pipeline and will be able to receive gas from Russia without transit countries, but now allow « Gazprom” to strengthen the bargaining position with Europe, the expert said.
