Turkey approved building the gas pipeline South Stream by Gazprom on the high level.
On Wednesday all necessary and unconditional permits were granted by Turkey. These permits allow Gazprom for unhampered execution of the project for construction and operation of the South Stream gas pipeline running from Russia via the exclusive economic zone of Turkey.
Alexey Miller of the Gazprom Management Committee, noted that the construction permit granted by Turkey was the most serious acknowledgement of the fact that the project would be executed fully on schedule, specifically before the end of 2015.
