MOSCOW, May 22 (Xinhua) -- Russian gas exports to Turkey grew by 26 percent year-on-year in January-April 2017, reaching 10.5 billion cubic meters, TASS reported Sunday.
Russia exported 24.7 billion cubic meters of natural gas to Turkey in 2016, the report said.
Russia and Turkey have seen closer cooperation in the gas sector thanks to the implementation of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline project with a capacity of 31.4 billion cubic meters, according to the report.
The Turkish Stream project, initiated by Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2014, intends to deliver Russian natural gas to Turkey and European markets through the Black Sea.
