Russia halted preparation works on the project of gas pipeline Turkish stream construction , Russian minister of energy, Aleksandar Novak said to journalists in Moscow.

As British agency Reuters says, Novak je said talks on construction of nuclear electric plant in Turkey stay open.

Russian minister of energy also said there is no need that Russian decreases current level of oil production as well as that he does not expect that the Organization of countries- oil exporters will decrease its production quotas at tomorrow’s meeting.

Novak estimated that critiques of EU directed for expansion of the North stream gas pipeline expansion which supplies Germany with natural gas are based on politics so he said that decisions on North stream 2 gas pipeline must be made based on the existing laws.
