Russia reports to have resumed gas price talks with Turkey

Moscow and Ankara have resumed talks on the price of Russian gas for Ankara, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said in an interview with Turkey’s Hurriyet newspaper.

A gas price dispute between Turkish pipeline operator Botas and Russia’s state gas producer Gazprom led to Botas launching international 

arbitration proceedings against Gazprom in October 2015. The row had led to talks on their joint Turkish Stream natural gas pipeline project to be suspended earlier that year.

 In November 2015, most contact between Russia and Turkey were halted after the downing of a Russian fighter jet by Turkish military, although since then Moscow and Ankara have made significant progress towards restoring relations.
