Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin said that they don’t plan to export natural gas to Israel via a new pipeline to Turkey.
“There is no such thing on our agenda,” Erdogan said at a news conference with Putin in Istanbul when asked about the gas. “The Blue Stream gas may not go to Israel because of economic considerations,” Putin said. “I don’t think Israel needs the gas because they found a reserve recently.”
