Russia’s Gazprom and Turkey’s Botas have an agreement on providing the Turkish side with a 10.25-percent discount for Russian gas, the Energy Minister of Russia Alexander Novak told reporters July 31, according to the RIA Novosti.
“According to the information I have, discount agreements have been reached by Gazprom and Botas,” he said answering a question whether there are differences between the companies on the size of the Russian gas discounts.
“As of today, it [the discount] stands at 10.25 percent in line with the agreements discussed earlier,” said Novak.
He added that the document for granting the discount hasn’t yet been signed.
Russia and Turkey were to sign an intergovernmental agreement until mid-2015 for the construction of the ‘Turkish Stream’ gas pipeline, but this hasn’t still happened.
