Agreement Between Greece and Russia on ‘Turkish Stream’ Pipeline May be Signed Next Week

An agreement between Moscow and Athens for the construction of the “Turkish Stream” gas pipeline, expected to bring up to 5.0 billion euros to Greece, may possibly be signed at the start of next week, Greek government sources said on Saturday. According to an article in Greek financial newspaper “Agora,” the amount will be an advance on the profits to be made by the Greek side from transit fees. The article said signatures cementing the deal agreed in Moscow during a recent visit by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras may be placed as early as Monday. The “Turkish Stream,” which will transport Russian natural gas via Turkey and Greece to the rest of Europe, is expected to be implemented by 2019. (source: ana-mpa)
