The Turkish Stream is a working name of the proposed natural gas pipeline from the Russian Federation to Turkey across the Black Sea. The proposal was announced by Russian president Vladimir Putin on 1 December 2014, during his state visit to Turkey. The proposed pipeline should replace the cancelled South Stream project.〔 〕〔 〕 According to Gazprom, the project does not have an official name yet.〔 〕 ==History== The pipeline would start at the Russkaya compressor station near Anapa. In February 2015, Gazprom chief Alexei Miller and Turkish Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Taner Yildiz announced that the landing point in Turkey would be Kıyıköy, a village in the district of Vize in Kırklareli Province at northwestern Turkey.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.interfax.com/newsinf.asp?id=570227 )〕 According to Gazprom, pipe-laying works will start immediately when the landing point in Turkey is decided.〔 Two pipe-laying ships are already located in the Black Sea.〔 The planned capacity of the pipeline is of natural gas.〔 Turkey would take about , the rest of the gas is planned to be exported to Europe.〔 〕 However, there are concerns that there is not enough capacity to transport this amount from the Greek-Turkish border further to Europe.〔 〕 According to the European Commissioner for Energy Maroš Šefčovič the proposed pipeline exceeds demands of possible customers.〔 〕 Negotiations between Russia and Turkey have not been finalized. The first direct gas pipeline between Russia and Turkey was the Blue Stream, commissioned in 2005. The expansion plan was replaced later by the South Stream. In 2009, Putin proposed a line parallel to Blue Stream 1 under the Black Sea, from Samsun to Ceyhan, and further to Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Cyprus.〔 〕 In November 2015, after the Russian Sukhoi Su-24 shootdown, Russia's Economic Development Minister stated that the Turkish Stream gas pipeline project falls under the restrictive measures against Turkey.〔(Turkish Stream Falls Under Russia's Restrictive Measures Against Turkey )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Turkish Stream」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
