ST. PETERSBURG (Sputnik) - Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller and Turkish Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar have discussed bilateral cooperation during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), including the development of an international gas hub, the company said on Friday.
"A working meeting of Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee, with Alparslan Bayraktar, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources of the Republic of Turkiye, took place today at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2024. The parties discussed relevant issues pertaining to their cooperation. Specifically, attention was paid to Russian gas supplies to Turkiye and the project for creating an international gas hub," Gazprom said in a statement.

The gas hub was first discussed in October 2022. At that time, Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested redirecting gas transit from the blast-damaged Nord Stream pipelines to Turkiye. Last December, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said that Gazprom and Turkiye had agreed on preparing a road map for the Turkish gas hub, with further decisions on the project to be made soon.
