Gazprom not commenting on outlook for relations with Turkey

ST. PETERSBURG. Nov 27 (Interfax) - Gazprom is refraining from comment on the outlook for cooperation with Turkish partners on both prospective projects and trade.

The Russian gas giant's deputy CEO, Valery Golubev declined to comment on a question about Turkey on Friday. "No, I won't, particularly about Turkey," he told reporters in St. Petersburg.

Russia has decided to impose restrictions against Turkey in response to the Turkish military downing a Russian bomber on the Syrian border earlier this week. Economic Development Minister Alexei Ulyukayev said that the restrictions could also affect the Turkish Stream gas pipeline project.
