Gazprom receives survey permit for two strings of Turkish Stream in Turkey's territorial waters

Gazprom has said it received through diplomatic channels a survey permit for two strings of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline project's offshore section in Turkish territorial waters, in a written statement on Sept. 29. 
"I would like to highlight the constructiveness and promptness on the part of our Turkish partners. The Turkish Stream project is progressing at commendable speed. We have received another important permit for the project," said Alexey Miller, chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee.

In December 2014, Gazprom and Turkey's BOTAŞ signed a Memorandum of Understanding to construct the gas pipeline. The pipeline will run 660 kilometers along the old South Stream route and cover 250 kilometers of a new route toward the European part of Turkey. It is planned that the first gas pipeline string will be used exclusively for gas supplies to the Turkish market.Istanbul welcomes third bridge over BosphorusLife in Jarablus after liberation from ISIL through the lens of Hürriyet reporter Selçuk ŞamiloğluGreenpeace's Rainbow Warrior traverses Istanbul's BosphorusHalfeti - A town of mesmerizing beautyExhibition shows Istanbul through eyes of children Secret weapons of Turkish army: locally produced rocket launchers, missile systemsThe bugs of Ankara: The weirdest scenes that anyone can run into in Turkish capitalA bird's eye view tour of Turkey's eastern provinces of Van and HakkariTurkish man with four wives has his 32nd childAirbus sunk for divers in Turkey's touristic Kuşadası
