Change language:
The CEO of Russia’s Gazprom has reaffirmed his long-term commitment to continuing the operations of the TurkStream pipeline and maintaining gas supplies to Hungary, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said in Moscow on Wednesday night, adding that Hungary’s gas supplies were secure despite the current crisis.
Following talks with Alexey Miller, Szijjártó said the energy supply crisis in Europe raised serious concerns about the coming heating season, but added that “it is at least as important how supplies for Europe could be secured in the next two to three winters since delivery via the northern routes has in fact become impossible”. TurkStream is the only remaining route with uninterrupted gas delivery from Russia, “which has proven that it was worthwile to construct it”, the foreign ministry quoted Szijjártó as saying.
