The Putin-Erdogan Effect: Blue Stream's Gas Will Not Reach Israel
12:45 - 09.06.10
One of the most interesting meetings in the framework of the third
summit of the Conference for Strengthening Trust and Cooperation in
Asia taking place in Istanbul was that between the Russian Prime
Minister Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip
Erdogan.
With an outright criticism of Israel Putin said an international
investigation must be conducted into what happened to the Flotilla of
Freedom, namely the circumstances of the seizure of the Turkish ship
Mavi Marmara. Though at the same time he said that the tension in the
Middle East must be eased in an attempt to avoid any new outbreak.
Further Russia's Premier spoke about the Blue Stream-2 gas projects,
saying the pipeline will probably not reach Israel.
`Israel has discovered a field rich in gas at its shelf. Therefore
there is no need to direct the second branch of the Blue Stream to
that state even in terms of economic considerations,' said he.
Recep Erdogan, in turn, said that Turkey and Russian are planning to
raise their goods circulation four-fold up to an annual $100 billion.
