The prime ministers emphasised the potential for resuming gas supply through another Turkish company.
The prime ministers discussed in detail the implementation of the Samsun-Ceyhan pipeline project and the construction of the Akkuyu nuclear power station. Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan devoted special attention to the construction of the South Stream gas pipeline.
