    January 18 – The idea espoused by Russia about ceasing the transit of gas through Ukraine and crossing over to a "Turkey route" by 2020 is a fantasy and it is not meant to be realized – Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Ukraine to the Turkish Republic, Serhiy Korsunskyj.

    The Russian proposal involves the following. The underground part of the pipe from the compression point of Russkaya station will be redirected instead of to the Bulgarian harbor Burgas, to the European part of Turkey to the west of Stambul. Of 63 million cubic meters of the stated capacity of the pipe, approximately 14 million are directed towards the inner consumption of Turkey. The rest, almost 50 million, are delivered to the Turkish-Greek border and reach EU.

    "Gasprom plans to build the "Turkish Stream" in circumstances when in Europe very soon there will enter into usage three new terminals which receive a diluted gas of the general strength up to 10 million cubic meters. Besides this, Turkey and Azerbaidjan have already begun the construction of the gas route TANAP, in which 10 million cubic meters will reach Germany and then Italy through the gas route TAP," notes the Ambassador. He also reminds all that on the basis of the continuous decrease of the level of consumption of natural gas in Europe (in 2011: by 10%; in 2012: by 2%; in 2013: by 1.4%), it is expected that on the European market the excess of the flowing gas will appear on the European market.

    According to Konsunskyi, "the fairy tale" about the Turkish Stream isneeded by Putin in order to show on the inner market that: "Look, Russia remains the key player and there is no isolation -

    China, India, and Turkey are with us."
