"We support Turkish Stream project and the nuclear power plant being constructed in Turkey because we are interested in bilateral investment," Zeybekci told journalists.
Zeybekci added that he would discuss the issue with Russian counterpart Alexey Ulyukaev on Sunday and Energy Minister Alexander Novak on Monday.
In August, Gazprom's project management department official Anatoly Fayantsev said that the energy giant was willing to sign an intergovernmental agreement on the Turkish Stream with Turkey and was planning to update a roadmap for the halted project.
Russia and Turkey signed an agreement to construct and operate Turkey’s first nuclear power plant at the Akkuyu site in the southern Turkish province of Mersin in May 2010. The plant is expected to produce about 35 billion kilowatt-hours per year.
