During a meeting with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the sidelines of a security conference in Kazakhstan, Putin also suggested setting up a natural gas exchange market in Turkey to determine prices, according to the Interfax news agency.
"We could consider building another gas pipeline and creating a gas hub in Turkey for sale to third countries, especially in Europe," Putin said. On Friday, Erdogan said he ordered his government to quickly present their implementation plans, saying that the hub "will be an international distribution center." According to Putin, more gas could be piped to Europe via Turkey through the Turk Stream pipeline. This is "currently the safest supply route," he said. The Turk Stream pipeline, which runs through the Black Sea and Turkey to southeastern Europe, is currently the only pipeline that still supplies significant quantities of Russian gas to Europe.
....However, the Kremlin said TurkStream cannot be a replacement for the Nord Stream pipelines through the Baltic Sea, Russian media reported Thursday.

Why would YOU provide cover for Biden and the European Green party wackos?
Take this crap to DU where it belongs.
My question is, with all of the folks who left Russia to live in Israel, how do they feel about Putin?
Seriously?
Last time I checked, Ukraine was in Europe.
Which explains why Putin won’t “Chechnya” on it. The optics matter a lot more in “Europe”, than in Central Asia.
Joe will like this, having killed the Eastmed pipeline from Israel through Cyprus and Greece. He hoped Israel would route their gas through Turkey as Erdogan demanded but eventually it will get to Europe through Egypt.
Ukraine is Not a European country - it’s Nuetral - but it wants to be. Otherwise Zelensky wouldn’t be crying about it all the time. Just becaause they trade in Europe doesn’t make them European. They aren’t a part of the “group either.
Uh, yes it is. Ukraine is most definitely in Europe.
I suppose that would depend on if they’re Russian Jews or just Russians.
Russia will own Turkey.

Maybe, but more of importantly, the EU will now be dependent on an Islamic nation. The destruction of the EU ( and the crippling of the West) will be complete.
Why is the EU and the West so intent on committing suicide?
Good question. 🤪
